How Many Workers    Units Produced Daily
     7                 112
     ?                 200

Daily units varies directly with number of workers. Simple propoertion for how many workers to reach 200 units per day -

x%2F200=7%2F112

Whole Number for x is necessary because this is a count of workers.
Choose 13.

200%2A%287%2F112%29=12.5 but this non-whole value cannot be used for "how many workers".
