You can put this solution on YOUR website! Uniform Rates Situation,
R is work rate in jobs per day
d is how many days of time
j is the quantity of jobs done
You want to find the one-man work rate.
800 people do a job in 80 days;
1 person does this one job in 800*80 days. This is 64000 days.
You could express this rate as job per day.
The described situation is in two time quantities, each having a different number of people working. You have 5 days with 800 people, and d days with 750 people. These two time periods were passed to accomplish 1 whole job.
Solve for the variable, d, in this equation describing the situation:
Definitely, simplify before starting.
