When building a house, the number of days required to build is inversely proportional to with the number of workers.
One house was built in 24 days by 10 workers.
How many days would it take to build a similar house with 16 workers?
:
let t = no. of days required with 16 men
An inverse ratio equation
=
Cross multiply
16t = 10 * 24
16t = 240
t = 240/16
t = 15 days
