10 men can finish the paint on wall in 15 days. How many men are needed to finish the work in one and a half day?
-----
# of men and # of days are inversely related::
m = k/d
----
Solve for "k" using "10 men can finish the paint on wall in 15 days"::
10 = k/15
k= 150
----
Equation:
m = 150/d
How many men are needed to finish the work in one and a half day?
m = 150/(3/2)
------
m = 100 (# of men needed)
