Question 288272: Working 8 hours a day, Chris Champ can paint a house in 12 days. If Chris works only 6 hours a day, the number of days it will take to paint the same house, working at the same rate, is
(a)9 (b) 16 (c) 48 (d) 72 (e) 96 Answer by amnd(23) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 8 hours per day x 12 days = 96 hours
This means that Chris is able to paint one house in 96 hours.
If he only works 6 hours per day, he would require:
96 hours/6 hours per day = 16 days (B)
.
Hope this is understandable :)
