Question 803140: A cabinet maker makes 3 cabinets in 2 days. An apprentice works 1/2 as fast. How many days does it take him to build 9 cabinets? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Half the rate of 3 cabinets in 2 days
would be 3 cabinets in 4 days
-------------------------
To make 3 times that number of
cabinets, the apprentice would have
to work 3 times as long, or 12 days
