Question

A company has spent 15 hours working on a project, and they estimate that they

only have 5% of the project done. How long will the whole project take?

Answer 1

If the company has spent 15 hours working on the project and estimates that they only have 5% of the project done, it means that they have 95% of the project left to complete.

Let's use "x" to represent the total time needed to complete the project.

Using proportions, we can set up the following equation:

15 / x = 5 / 100

To solve for "x", we can cross-multiply and simplify:

15 * 100 = 5 * x

1500 = 5x

x = 1500 / 5

x = 300

Therefore, the whole project will take 300 hours to complete.
