Question

All of the middle-school mathletes solve math problems at the same pace. Working together, six mathletes complete all of the summer homework in 22 hours. How many hours will the homework take if the number of mathletes? PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

44 hours

Explanation:

because if its half it will take twice as long

Answer 2

44 hours

Explanation:

If you decrease the amount of participants in half, the amount of time that it takes per work load automatically doubles. So if the original amount of hours that it took with six participants is 22. If we cut six into half, then 22 hours would double into 44. Then it would become 44 hours with three people. Also, for check, I did have this problem for RSM.
