You can put this solution on YOUR website!
if she works 3.5 hour a day and it takes her 10 days to finish a piece of work, then it takes her 3.5 * 10 days = 35 hours to finish the piece of work.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the amount of work required is 35 hours to finish the job.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this remains the same.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let x = the number of hours it takes her to finish the finish the job in 7 days.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you get x * 7 = 35\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "solve for x to get:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "it would take her 5 hours per day to finish the job in 7 days.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5 * 7 = 35
\n" ); document.write( "3.5 * 10 = 35\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
