Question 824561
---
work rate experienced during the first 24 days:
r = jobs/(workers*time)
r = (3/4)/(24*24)
r = 0.001302083333333 job/(worker*day)
---
assume the same work rate to complete the remaining 1/4 of the job in the remaining 6 days:
r = (1/4)/(workers*6)
workers = (1/4)/(6*r)
workers = (1/4)/(6*0.001302083333333)
workers = 32
additional workers = 32 - 24 = 8
---
answer:
to complete the job in the remaining 6 days, the contractor must hire 8 additional workers, for a total of 32 workers.
