The amount of work is the same for each half of the job, enabling us to use the following formula:lheiannie07 wrote:A work crew of 4 Men takes 5 days to complete one-half of a job. If 6 men are then added to the crew and the men continue to work at the same rate, how many days will it take the enlarged crew to do the rest of the job?
A. 2
B. 3
C. 3 1/3
D. 4
E. 4 4/5
You could also just use a bit of logic and the answer choices. If we doubled the number of men working, we'd halve the time it takes to complete the job. So if 4 Men could do half a job in 5 days, 8 men could do half a job in 2.5 days. But we've got 10 men! So clearly, they can do the job faster than 8 men could. The only answer under 2.5 is Alheiannie07 wrote:A work crew of 4 Men takes 5 days to complete one-half of a job.
