When building a house, the number of days required to build varies inversely with with the number of workers. One house was built in 19 days by 35 workers. How many days would it take to build a similar house with 5 workers?

Explanation:

Number of worker days required to build the house

35 workers * 19 days = 665 worker days

665 worker days / 5 workers = 133 days
