Question

It takes five people four hours to paint a fence.

How long would it take ten people to paint the same fence at the same rate?

Remember to include units in your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we notice that the time taken to paint a fence is inversely proportional to the number people used because as the number of people increase, the time taken to paint the fence decreases.

5 people can paint a fence in 4 hours.

1 person can paint a fence in = 5 x 4

                                                = 20 hours

10 people can paint the fence in = 20/10

                                                      = 2 hours
