Question

The work in an office takes 150 hours to complete every week. Each person works for 32 hours a week.What is the smallest number of people needed to complete the work

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Total hours required to complete the work every week = 150 hrs.

Number of hours worked per week by one person = 32 hr

∴ Number of people required to complete the work per week = Total number of hrs to complete the work ÷ No of hrs work per person

∴ Number of people = 150 ÷ 32

Thus, rounding the number to next integer.

∴ Smallest number of people needed to complete the work = 5
