document.write( "Question 141101: When I said i could get the job done in a week, i was assuming i would have 2 more bulldozers. with the bulldozers i have, i would have the job done in 8 days. but now all my bulldozers are out of operation except 1. now I'll probably be weeks late. with all the information obtained is it possible to find out how many weeks late the engineer would be. find the result or alternatively state conclusions that would lead to the answer. \n" ); document.write( "

2 more bulldozers shortens an 8 day job to a 7 day job\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this means that the 2 extra bulldozers do 1/8 of the job in 7 days\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "14 bulldozer-days (like man-hours) to do 1/8 of the job, so 112 (8*14) bulldozer-days to do the whole job\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "with only one bulldozer, it will take 112 days (16 weeks) to do the job
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
