Young bull\'s labor productivity_________________ = single lane miles/ day (one decimal place)

little dog\'s labor productivity___________________ = single lane miles/day

Young bull\'s labor productivity =

Solution

young bulls build 50 miles two lane road, it can be consider as 100 miles of single lane

the productivity= 100/64= 1.5625miles per day
