Question

It takes 24 electricians 36 days to wire a new housing subdivision. How many days would 32 electricians take to do the same job?

Answer 1

Answer: 27 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply inverse relation:

Since it takes 24 electricians 36 days to wire a new housing subdivision, the relation is:

24 (36)  

For 32 electricians:

24(36) = 32 (x)

Solving for x (days)

864 =32x

864/32 =x

x= 27 days
