You can put this solution on YOUR website!
r = rate for 1 worker.
d = days of work for the 32 workers.
RT=J, rate time job, uniform rate equation for doing work or a task or a job.
Rate for any n workers at the same time is n%2Ar.

Each part of the description is for 1 whole job.
highlight%2810%2Ar%2A16=1=32%2Ar%2Ad%29
Solve for d.
