18 weeks

Explanation:

It is given that the crew will frame 3 houses every week.

To calculate how many weeks it will take to frame 54 houses, divide the number of houses to frame by the number of houses that can be framed per week.

#54 -: 3 = 18# weeks

To check, multiply 18, the number of weeks needed to frame 54 houses, by 3, the number of houses that can be framed per week.

#18 * 3= 54#
