Step-by-step solution
4 stepsIdentify the given values and the type of proportion.
This is an inverse proportion problem because as the number of workers increases, the number of days required to complete the job decreases.
Given:
Initial workers () = 10 workers
Initial days () = 10 days
New workers () = 15 workers
New days () = ?Set up the inverse proportion equation.
For inverse proportion, the product of the number of workers and the number of days is constant.
Substitute the known values into the equation.
Solve for .
It would take 15 workers
\boxed{\text{6\frac{2}{3} days}}to complete the job.
