Answer:

3 days would take the 15 workers to finish the same task

Step-by-step explanation:

  • In the questions of doing a job, the number of workers and the time are in an inverse proportional because if the number of workers is increased, then the time of finishing the job will decrease and vice versa
  • The relation between the number of workers and the time to finish any job is N × T = K, where, N is the number of workers, T is the time to finish the job, and K is constant

Let us use this relation to solve the question

∵ 5 workers can complete a certain task in 9 days

∴ N = 5 workers and T = 9 days

→ By using the relation above

∴ 5 × 9 = k ⇒ (1)

∵ If there are 15 workers will make the same task

∵ They can finish it in x days

∴ N = 15 workers and T = x days

→ By using the relation above

∴ 15 × x = k ⇒ (2)

∵ k is the same task, then equate the left sides of (1) and (2)

∴ 15 × x = 5 × 9

∴ 15x = 45

→ Divide both sides by 15 to find x

∴ x = 3 days

∴ 3 days would take the 15 workers to finish the same task

igomit [66]
Let’s remember the most basic thing in percentages, the equation.

Percent x Whole = Part.

We know the whole, and the part, but we are trying to find the percent, so we have to divide the two, first turn your whole and part into a decimal.

Percent x 0.4 = 0.18, so we divide 0.18 by 0.4

0.18/0.4 = 0.45

0.45 = 45%
