Suppose that the time it takes to do a job is inversely proportional to the number of workers. that is, the more workers on the job the less time required to complete the job. if it takes 2 workers 8 days to finish a job, how long will it take 8 workers?

i think it would be 2 days. you would get it done 4 times faster, so 8/4 is 2
