The amount of time the workers will take to do the job is d.{0.5. 0.2, 0.14, 0.125, 0.11}

How to determine the amount of time the workers will take to do the job?

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

f(x) = 2/x

Also, we have

Set for workers = {4, 10, 14, 16, 18}

For x= 4

f(x) = 2/4 = 1/2 = 0.5

and, x = 10

f(x) = 2/10 = 1/5 = 0.2

and, x= 14

f(x) = 2/14 = 1/7 = 0.142

and, x= 16

f(x) = 2/ 16 = 1/8 = 0.125

and, x= 18

f(x) = 2/ 18 = 1/9 = 0.11

Hence, the amount of time is d.{0.5. 0.2, 0.14, 0.125, 0.11}

Question

The number of hours required to do a painting job is represented by the function f(x)=2/x, where f(x) gives the number of hours and x is the number of painters doing the job. How much time will {4, 10, 14, 16, 18} workers take to do the job?

a.{1.0, 0.9, 0.8, 0.7 0.2}

b.{0.9, 0.8, 0.6, 0.4, 0.1}

c.{0.9, 0.84, 0.73, 0.59, 0.2}

d.{0.5. 0.2, 0.14, 0.125, 0.11}
