10 masons can build a wall working 7 hrs a day in 12 days. in how many days can a work be completed by 14 persons, working 8 hrs a day
-----
# of days is inversely related to # of masons and inversely related to # of
hours per day. So as # of masons increases # of days decreases. Also as #
of hours per day increaes # of days to do the job decreases. Therefore
both the m and the h go into the denominator on the right side.
-------------------
d = k/(m*h)
----
Solve for "k" using "10 masons can build a wall
working 7 hrs a day in 12 days."
------------------
12 = k/(10*7)
----
k = 12*70 = 840
-----
Equation:
d = 840/(m*h)
--------------------------
in how many days can a work be completed by 14 persons, working 8 hrs a day
----
d = 840/(14*8)
d = 7.5 days
