Given data:
15000 items can be processed by 8 workers in 10 hours
To find:
How long would it take for 12 workers to process 20,000 items?
Step-by-step explanation:
Mathematically the question can be written as
Workers Items Time
8 15000 10
12 20000 ?
Here, workers and time are in inverse relation; items and time are in simple relation.
Thus the required time
= 10 × 8/12 × 20000/15000 hours
= 80/9 hours
= 8.89 hours (approximately)
Answer:
It will take nearly 8.89 hours for 12 workers to process 20000 items.
