Question

It took 2 electricians 5 days to wire a house. How long would it take 10 electricians?

Answer 1

1 day

Explanation:

Assuming all the electricians work at the same rate, we can use the formula:

(time x workers) = constant

So, if 2 electricians took 5 days, we have:

(5 x 2) = (time x 10)

Simplifying, we get:

10 = time x 10

Dividing both sides by 10, we get:

time = 1

Therefore, it would take 10 electricians 1 day to wire the house.
