Question

an electrician was hired to wire a new house. In 11 1/4 days he estimates he has completed 70% of the job. At his current pace of work, how long will it take him to complete the entire job?

Answer 1

It will take him about 16.07 days.

To solve this problem, you can write a proportion to find the amount of time.

11.25 days / 70% = x days / 100%

If you cross multiply and divide this, you will get about 16.07.
