Question 443565: Six workers can paint 4 houses in 8 days. How many additional workers are needed if the job of painting 8 houses must be finish in 4 days? Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! It takes 6*8=48 worker-days to paint 4 houses. It takes 96 worker-days to paint 8 houses.
If you paint 8 houses in 4 days you need 96/4=24 workers.
