You can put this solution on YOUR website! You have 8 machines that take six days to complete a job , how many machines does it take to complete that job in 1.5 days?
-------------------
Comment: The more machines you have the less time it takes to do the job.
So # of machines and # of days are inversely related.
--------
General Equation:
# machines = k/# of days
----
Find "k":
8 = k/6
k = 48
--------
Equation for this Problem:
# machines = 48/# of days
------
how many machines does it take to complete that job in 1.5 days?
# machines = 48/1.5
# machines = 32
