Question

The work in an office takes 180 hours to complete every work

each person in the office works for 35 hours a week
what is the smallest number of people needed to complete the work?​

Answer 1

Minimum People required = 5

Explanation:

Total hours required to complete the work every week = 150 hrs.

Number of hours worked per week by one person = 32 hr

∴ Number of people required to complete the work per week = Total number of hrs to complete the work ÷ No of hrs work per person

∴ Number of people = 150 ÷ 32

∴ Number of people = 4.6875

This is the minimum number of people. But no of people cannot be a fraction.

Thus, rounding the number to next integer.

∴ Smallest number of people needed to complete the work = 5
