Textbook Question
Chapter 7, Problem 30R
The number of workers needed to complete a particular job is inversely proportional to the number of hours that they work. If 12 electricians can complete a job in 72 h, how long will it take 8 electricians to complete the same job? Assume that each person works at the same rate, no matter how many people are assigned to the job.
