Question

A project should take no more than 60 hours. If John can spare 7.5 hours per day to work on the project, what is the maximum number of days it will take him to finish

Answer 1

8 days

Explanation:

We know

A project should take no more than 60 hours, which means the number of hours should
`\leq` 60 hours.

John can spare 7.5 hours per day to work on the project.

Let x represent the number of days; we have the equation

7.5x
`\leq` 60

x
`\leq` 8

So, the maximum number of days it will take him to finish is 8 days.
