A total of 9 workers are needed to finish the same task in 4 days
<h3>How to determine the number of workers?</h3>
From the question, we understand that:
3 workers can complete a certain task in 12 days
This means that
3 workers = 12 days
The proportionality constant is then calculated as
Proportionality constant = Number of workers x Number of days
Substitute the known values in the above equation So, we have the following equation
Proportionality constant = 3 * 12
Evaluate
Proportionality constant = 36
When the number of days is 4, we have
Days = 4
So, we have
Proportionality constant = Number of workers x Number of days
This gives
36 = Number of workers x 4
Divide both sides by 4
Number of workers = 9
Hence, the number of workers is 9
