The same amount of the work. Call this quantity 1.
We do not know the rate of one worker, but we could find this rate. Still, without directly calculating it,...
.
This is simply the basic uniform rate equation for task or job completion. Rate times Time equals Job. Both expressions equated are equal to 1 job, "the work". Notice r is a factor on both sides of the equation. Just solve for n, the number of workers needed for completing the job in 18 days.
10=n*2
n=10/2=5

9 workers complete the job in 10 days
--------------------------------------
10 times as many workers can complete
the job in 1/10 of that time, so
--------------------------------------
90 workers complete the job in 1 day
--------------------------------------
1/18 of that many workers will take
18 times longer to complete the job, so
----------------------------------------
5 workers complete the job in 18 days
