It takes 4 people 2 days to paint a wall. How long would it take if we got 8 people to do it?

Answer:

1 day

Explanation:

4 people = 2 days

→ Work out how long 1 person takes

4 people = 2 days

( ÷ 4 ) ( × 4 )

1 person = 8 days

→ Work out how long 8 people can do it

1 person = 8 days

( × 8 ) ( ÷ 8 )

8 people = 1 day
