Problema Solution
It took 6 guys 3.5 days to dig 8 holes. How many days would it take 4 guys to dig 10 holes?
Answer provided by our tutors
First, lets determine how many holes/day 6 people can dig:
8holes/3.5days=(16/7) holes/day
This means that 1 person can dig:
(1/6)(16/7)=(8/21) holes/day
This means that 4 people can dig:
4(8/21)=(32/21)holes/day
Now let's determine how many days it would take the 4 guys to dig 10 holes:
10holes (21/32)day/hole=6.5625 days
This can be rounded up to 7 days.
