Question

5 people can do a work in 32 days in how many days 8 people can compete work

Answer 1

Answer: 20 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given number of people varies inversely with the number of days taken to finish the work

Then x=1/y

=>x1 *y1= x2 *y2(Note the number following the variable here is supposed to be suffix)

=>5*32=8*y2

=>160=8*y2

=> y2=160/8

=>y2=20

Therefore the number of days it take 8 people to complete the work is 20 days
