Question

It takes 10 people 5 days to complete a piece of work at a factory when working 2 hours a day. Working at the same pace, how many days will it take 2 people to do the same work, if they are working 5 hours a day?

Answer 1

2 days because 5 days for 2hours is 10 hours and 10 hours divided by 5 hours would get you 2 days to complete

Answer 2

Answer:

The same works completed by 2 peoples in 10 days, if they are working 5 hours a day.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that 10 people 5 days to complete a piece of work at a factory when working 2 hours a day.

$Work_1=10\times 5\times 2$

Let the same works completed by 2 peoples in x days, if they are working 5 hours a day.

$Work_2=2\times x\times 5$

$Work_1=Work_2$

$10\times 5\times 2=2\times x\times 5$

$100=10x$

Divide both sides by 10.

$\frac{100}{10}=\frac{10x}{10}$

$x=10$

Therefore the same works completed by 2 peoples in 10 days, if they are working 5 hours a day.
