Question

The amount of workers working on a task varies inversely as the amount of time it takes to finish the task. If 10 people can finish a task in 2 weeks, how many days will it take for 15 people to complete the same task?.

Answer 1

The number of days it would take 15 people to complete the task is 9.1 days.

The formula used to represent inverse proportion is:

y = $\frac{k}{x}$

• y = dependent variable
• x = independent variable
• k = constant of proportionality

The information given in the question can be represented with:

2 = k/10

k = 20

The number of weeks it would take 15 people to complete the same task:

20 / 15 = 1.3 weeks = 9.1 days
