If 24 workers can built a jet in 15 weeks, how many workers will build the jet in 12 weeks if they are working at the same rate

Answer 1

Let x be the number of workers needed to build the jet in 12 weeks. We can use the formula:

workers x time = constant

Since the amount of work to build the jet is the same, we can write:

24 workers x 15 weeks = x workers x 12 weeks

Solving for x, we get:

x = 24 workers x 15 weeks / 12 weeks
x = 30 workers

Therefore, 30 workers are needed to build the jet in 12 weeks if they are working at the same rate as the 24 workers who built it in 15 weeks.
