t=\frac{k}{w}
where t is the required time to complete the project, k is a constant of proportionality, and w is the number of workers.
Plugging the given values into the equation, we get:
24=\frac{k}{5}
which gives k = 120.
If the required time to complete the project is 15 days, the equation becomes:
15=\frac{120}{w}
Solving for w, gives w = 120/15 = 8 workers.
