we have that

four people, five hours a day, six days

that represents

each people works-----> 30 hours in six days (5*6)

each people can do ----> 25% of the work (100%/4)

Divide percentage by the number of hours

25/30=5/6 % by hour

that means

Each people can do (5/6)% by hour

two people working for seven hours a day--------> represents 14 hours a day

Multiply 14 hours by (5/6)

14*(5/6)=11.67%

that means

two people in one day can do 11.67% of the work

Applying proportion

1/11.67%=x/100%

solve for x

x=100/11.67

x=8.6 days------> Round up

<h2>the answer is 9 days</h2>

If 4 more than 4 times a certain number is the same as 4 more than the product of 3 and 4, what is that number?
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer: the number is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be represented by x.

If 4 more than 4 times a certain number is the same as 4 more than the product of 3 and 4, it means that

4x + 4 = 4 + 3×4

4x + 4 = 4 + 12

4x + 4 = 16

Subtracting 4 from the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes

4x + 4 - 4 = 16 - 4

4x = 12

Dividing the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 4, it becomes

x = 12/4 = 3
