Question 1133015: In one complete day a man binds 100 books and his helper binds one fourth as many books.
If they take turns working complete days, how many days would it take them to bind 500 books? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):

Taking turns, one day 100 books are bound, the next day 1/4 of that or 25 books are bound
There need to be four complete cycles to bind 500 books, and that will take 8 days.
500/125=4 cycles
