Jenny has bought a new condo. The closing has been set for 45 days from today. The builder estimates that the remaining work on the condo will take about 750 hours to complete. Write a formula that will help determine the number of people the builder must hire to complete the job. In 45 days each worker can work no more than 40 hours a week.

45/7=6.42 WEEKS 6.42*40=257.14285 750/257.14285=2.9 LABORERS
OR 750/(45/7)40= LABORERS
