5 men are hired to complete a job. If one more man is hired, the job can be completed 8 days earlier.

Assuming that all men work at the same rate how many more men should be hired so that the job can be completed 28 days earlier.

Answer:

The answer is 4 more men should be hired because when you added one more person you got 8 days earlier that the job was done... So, 8 times 4 is 32 which is bigger than 28 so that's how I got 4 more men... Hope this helps... Stay safe and have a great weekend... :D
