If it takes 8 machines 6 days to complete a job how many machines will it take to complete the job in half a day?
:
Use "machine-days" (1 machine working 1 day, is one machine-day)
:
The completed job required 8 * 6 = 48 machine-days
:
Let x = no. of machines required to do it in half a day
:
.5x = 48
multiply both sides by 2
x = 96 machines
