To find out how much of a road can be paved by using one ton of cement, we can set up a proportion using the information given:
14 tons of cement paves 50 meters of road
1 ton of cement paves x meters of road
Cross multiply to solve for x:
14 * x = 1 * 50
14x = 50
x = 50 / 14
x ≈ 3.57 meters
Therefore, using one ton of cement, approximately 3.57 meters of road can be paved.
