Question

If it takes 6 people 8 hours to finish the job, how long would it take 4 people?

Answer 1

5.333 hours.

6 people = 8 hours

4 people = ? hours

To find ? Use crisscross multiplication and solve:

? = (4 * 8) / 6

? = 32 / 6

? = 5.333

Therefore, if it takes 6 people 8 hours to finish a job then it will take 5.333 hours for 4 people to finish a job.
