A road construction crew is resurfacing the highway between point D and point E. The distance between point D and point E is 93 miles of road. The crew has completed 35 miles. If they work at a pace of 2.9 miles per day, how many more days will it take to finish?

t = the number of days needed to finish
The have d = 93 - 35 = 58 miles to finish.
Since v = d/t we have
58/t = 2.9
