Question

An experienced carpenter could build a house in 3 days. How much would he have finished if he worked for 2 days?

Answer 1

Assuming his rate of work is constant, he will complete `2/3` of a house.

This can also be expressed as `0.66666dot6` or approximated as `0.67` or 67% of a house.

Explanation:

If the carpenter builds 1 house in 3 days, then he builds `1/3` of a house per day. In two days he will build `2xx1/3=2/3` of a house.
