18 workers do a job in 40 days, if 6 workers were added from the beginning of the job , how many days will be needed to finish that job?
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "18*40 = 720 man-days are needed to do the job.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "With 18+6 = 24 workers the time required would be 720/24 = 30
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Another way to work it would be:
\n" ); document.write( "# of men and # of days are inversely related.
\n" ); document.write( "d = k/m
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"k\" using \"18 men do the job in 40 days\"
\n" ); document.write( "40 = k/18
\n" ); document.write( "k = 720
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "d = 720/m
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Then solve \"if 6 workers were added from the beginning of the job , how many days will be needed to finish that job\"?
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "d = 720/24
\n" ); document.write( "d = 30 days
