Answer:
Let's suppose that each person works at an hourly rate R.
Then if 4 people working 8 hours per day, a total of 15 days to complete the task, we can write this as:
4*R*(15*8 hours) = 1 task.
Whit this we can find the value of R.
R = 1 task/(4*15*8 h) = (1/480) task/hour.
a) Now suppose that we have 5 workers, and each one of them works 6 hours per day for a total of D days to complete the task, then we have the equation:
5*( (1/480) task/hour)*(D*6 hours) = 1 task.
We only need to isolate D, that is the number of days that will take the 5 workers to complete the task:
D = (1 task)/(5*6h*1/480 task/hour) = (1 task)/(30/480 taks) = 480/30 = 16
D = 16
Then the 5 workers working 6 hours per day, need 16 days to complete the job.
b) The assumption is that all workers work at the same rate R. If this was not the case (and each one worked at a different rate) we couldn't find the rate at which each worker completes the task (because we had not enough information), and then we would be incapable of completing the question.

♡ The Explanation/Step-By-Step ♡
(3/4)^3
Apply Exponent Rule! --> (a/b)^c = a^c/b^c
(3/4)^3 = 3^3/4^3
3^3 = 27
= 27/4^3
4^3 = 64
= 27/64
27/64 = 0.421875

Answer:
It is linear because the ratio of the change in the final cost compared to the rate of change in the price tag is constant.
