RE: Math Question - Rates

in #math7 years ago

wd= work days per person

6(wd-8) = 5days
6 wd - 48 = 5days
1 wd = 48


5 x 48 wd = 240 total days to complete with 5

(m+5)(48-28)= 240
(m+5)20= 240
20m+100=240
20m=140
m = 7

7 is the number of extra men needed, but the total number working is 12.

This looks correct
