Question
Millwood City is constructing a new highway through town. The construction crew can complete 5 3/5 miles of road each month. Can the highway be finished in 8 months? 6 1/2 months have already passed by and so far they have 36 2/5 miles complete.
Thanks! My friend and I are both using Jiskha on this problem right now.

The above link gives that information plus the answer.
All right, so the new highway is 54 miles long in total. But I need the answer in a mixed number answer, not a decimal, and I can't quite remember how to turn decimals into fractions...
Yeah... sorta forgot. Long story short, we were absent when we were being taught that.
