so two fellows did all the carpeting in 10 days.

now, how long did "1" fellow work only?  well, it worked for 10 days.

how long did the other fellow work for?  well, it was working alongside the first one, and it was there for also 10 days.

so the two guys working together, really did 10+10 = 20 "days worth of work".  So that the whole carpeting job can be done in 20 "days worth of work".

now if we want to finish it in 4 days, 20 ÷ 4 = 5.

so if we hire 5 guys, since each one will do 4 days worth, 5*4 = 20 <- the whole job.

Answer:

5 worker

Step-by-step explanation:

Two men complete carpeting = 10 days

Total time taken to complete the work= Number of men× Number of days

Total time taken to complete the work= 2×10

Total time taken to complete the work= 20

Let x number of men complete the work in 4 days

According to question

4×x= 20

x= 20÷4

x=5 men

Number of 5 worker are required to complete the work in 4 days

10. Suppose you earn $7.25 per hour working part-time for a florist. What is the minimum number of hours you must work to earn a
UNO [17]
To make it like a simple, I'll make an equation. Let x be the number of hours because x represents unknown and we don't know the hours. Then your per hour is $7.25 right? so it would be x7.25. You want to know how many hours you will work so you can earn $125. The equation is simple as this x7.25 = 125.
All you have to do is divide the equation by 7.25 because that's your per hour.
It will look like this, <u>x7.25</u> = <u>125</u>   then the answer would be 17.24 hours.
