    Rate performing a task
    Hi everyone. My nephew wants to use the site so he is asking a question for the first time.

    Here's the question:

    It takes 7 hours for 2 workers to perform a certain construction job. How long will it take 4 workers to do the same job?

    :rolleyes:

    Thanks

    Think about it a little. 2 workers do it in 7 hours. Wouldn't it take 4 workers half that time?

    YOu can set up a proportion also.



    Solve for x.
