Answer 1

Answer:

hi

Step-by-step explanation:

100 extra employees will be required to complete the project in 6 months.

Explanation:

We are given that:

Workforce = 300 employees

The time period to finish project = 8 months  

To Find: Number of extra employees = ?

Solution:

300 employees      8 months     1 project

300 employees      1 month       1 / 8 project

1 employee            1 month       (1/8) x 1/300  

x employee            6 month       [1/ 8 x 300] x 6 ] x x = 1

1 x 6x / 8 x 300 = 1

x = 8 x 50 = 400 employee

400 - 300 = 100 employee

Thus 100 employees will be required to complete the project in 6 months.
