Problema Solution
I have four hours foe every volunteer to deliver 17,500 flyers with all volunteers delivering 225 flyers an hour. How many volunteers do I need?
Answer provided by our tutors
1 volunteer in 1 hour will deliver 225 flyers
1 volunteer in 4 hour will deliver 225*4 flyers
x volunteer in 4 hour will deliver x*225*4 flyers
Since i need in 4 hours x volunteers to deliver 17,500 flyers we have
x*225*4 = 17500
x = 17500/(225*4)
x = 175/9
x = 19.4 approximately
since we need x integer and x*225*4 >=17500 we will take the closest integer that is bigger then 19,4 that is 20.
I will need 20 volunteers to have the delivering done.
