It takes 15 electricians 24 days to wire a new housing subdivision. How many days would 18 electricians take to do the same job? Thank You for all who answered this question!

Answer 1

This is a problem regarding proportions!

(15/24) = (18/x)

Doing some algebra, we can multiply the numerators (electricians) and denominators (days) to solve for x:

15*18 = 24x
270 = 24x
x = 11.25 days
