<PRE><B>Question 1152537</B>
----------------------------------------------------------------------
6 reporters can write 24 articles in 2 days. How long would it take 12 reporters to write 120 articles?
---------------------------------------------------------------


Using {{{nR*t=Q}}}
n number of reporters
R rate of one reporter
t time in days
Q number of articles

{{{6*R*2=24}}}

{{{R=24/(6*2)}}}

{{{R=2}}}{{{articles/day}}}, rate of one reporter.




---------------------------------------------------------------
How long would it take 12 reporters to write 120 articles?
---------------------------------------------------------------


{{{12*2*t=120}}}, for t number of unknown days

{{{t=120/(12*2)}}}

{{{t=10/2}}}

{{{highlight(t=5)}}}{{{days}}}
