10 men produce 500 articles in 5 working days. how long would it take 15 men to produce 500 articles?
-------------
If # of articles is fixed, # of days and # of men are inversely related.
---
# of days = 500k/# of men
----
Solve for "k":
5 = 500k/10
50 = 500k
k = 1/10
------------------
Equation:
# of days = 500(1/10)/# of men
# of days = 50/# of men
------------------------------
how long would it take 15 men to produce 500 articles?
# of days = 50/15
# of days = 10/3 = 3 1/3 days

10 men produce 500 articles in 5 working days.
It would take 1 man 10 times longer to do this same work
So, 1 man produces 500 articles in 50 working days
And, 15 men could do this same work in 1/15 of this time
15 men could produce 500 articles in days
