Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If 7 people can pave the drive in 9 hours, we can use that information in equation form to find out how long it would take 1 person to pave the drive alone.
[tex]\frac{7}{x}=\frac{1}{9}[/tex] and cross multiply
x = 63. That means that it would take 1 person, working alone, 63 hours to get the job done. If that be the case, and assuming that the 2 added people work at the same rate as do the first 9, we simply divide that time alone into 11 parts.
It would take 11 people [tex]5.\bar{27}[/tex] hours to pave that driveway.
