Answer:

10 days

Explanation:

It takes 10 road workers 5 days to complete a road repair when working 2 hours per day.

It takes 10 workers 5 days when working 2 hours per day to complete the road.

At the same pace 2 people working 5 hours a day will use ? days.

Firstly, let's calculate for 2 worker at 2 hrs per day

10 workers = 5 days at 2 hr per day

2 workers = ?

20/5 = 4 days at 2 hrs per day

For 2 workers at 5 hrs per day

4 days at 2 hrs per day

? days at 5 hrs per day

cross multiply

(5 × 4)/2

20/2

10 days
