You can put this solution on YOUR website! A team of 3 gardeners can weed a park in 8 hours.
How many gardeners are needed to weed the park in 6 hours?
(Assume the time taken, T, is inversely proportional to the number of gardeners, n.)
An inverse ratio equation =
cross multiply
6n = 3 * 8
6n = 24
n = 24/6
n = 4 gardeners to do it in 6 hrs
