Meghan's team is comprised of 10 people who work 40 hours per week.

The team is tasked with completing a project that requires 700 man-hours

in one week. To complete the project, Meghan plans to add n members to

What is the minimum number of extra team members she needs?

Answer 1

Answer:

minimum of 7.5 extra team members working at 40 hours per week

or 7 extra members and add 2.35 hours to each team member

Explanation:

10 = 400 hours,

the difference to get to 700 hours is 300

300/40 = 17.5

can't have half a person so that one person's work = 40 hours

40/17=2.35 hours to each team member to make up for the one person
