Ateam of 15 workers can do a job in 7 hours. how long would this work take if the team has 35 people?

It would take the workers 3 hours to finish

This problem will be using inverse equations, which use the following formula:



x and y are your variables, and k is the constant value that x and y must multiply to.

It takes 15 workers 7 hours to complete the job. Multiply these values to find k:




We have 35 workers, but we are missing the variable for hours. Plug in the amount of workers:



Divide both sides by 35 to get y by itself:



It will take 35 workers 3 hours to finish the job.
