1/3 of the volunteers can complete the 8-hour workday

<h3>How to determine the capacity of the team</h3>

Total number of volunteers = 10

If it takes 1 volunteer = 24 hours = 1 day

It would take x number of volunteers = 8 hours

To find 'x' , cross multiply

We have,
x * 24 hours = 8 hours * 1

24x = 8

Make 'x' the subject of formula

x = 8/ 24

x = 1/3

Therefore, 1/3 of the volunteers can complete the 8-hour workday
