Question

A construction worker estimates that a kitchen remodel will take 1 person 200 hours. If 5 people work on the job for 8 hours a day, how many days will it take for them to complete the job?

Answer 1

It will take them five days.

Explanation:

So what I did was I multiplied 5 and 8 because there were 5 people and I'm taking it that each person worked 8 hours a day. So after multiplying that, I got 40. I then divided 40 by 200 and I got 5.

Answer 2

5 days

Explanation:

Multiply 8 hours by 5 people to get a total of an equivalent of 40 hours of work per day. 200/40 is equal to 5, so it would take them 5 days
