To determine how many days it will take for 10 workers to complete the same task if 5 workers can complete it in 10 days, we can use the concept of work rate.
First, let’s find the work rate of the workers.
If 5 workers can complete the task in 10 days, then the total amount of work can be expressed as: Total Work=5 workers×10 days=50 worker-days
This means that 50 worker-days are required to complete the task.
Next, we want to find out how long it will take for 10 workers to complete the same amount of work. Let D be the number of days it takes for 10 workers to complete the task.
We know: 10 workers×D days=50 worker-days
Solving for D: D=10 workers50 worker-days=5 days
So, it will take 10 workers 5 days to complete the task, assuming they work at the same rate.
\[ \text{Total work} = 5 \text{ workers} \times 10 \text{ days} = 50 \text{ worker-days} \]
Now, if you have 10 workers working at the same rate, you can find out how many days it will take them to complete the same task:
\[ \text{Number of days} = \frac{\text{Total work}}{\text{Number of workers}} = \frac{50 \text{ worker-days}}{10 \text{ workers}} = 5 \text{ days} \]
So, it will take 10 workers 5 days to complete the task.
If 5 workers can complete a task in 10 days, it means the total work required is proportional to the number of workers and the time taken. Using the formula \( \text{work} = \text{rate} \times \text{time} \), we know that the total work is constant for the task. When the number of workers doubles, the time required to complete the task is expected to reduce proportionally.
Therefore, if 5 workers can complete the task in 10 days, then 10 workers can complete the same task in half the time. This means they can complete the task in 5 days, assuming they work at the same rate. This is because the total work remains the same, but with double the number of workers, the rate at which work is done doubles, resulting in the time taken being halved.
In summary, if 5 workers can complete a task in 10 days, 10 workers can complete the same task in 5 days, assuming both groups of workers maintain the same rate of work.
To determine how many days it will take for 10 workers to complete the same task that 5 workers can complete in 10 days, we can use the concept of man-days, which represents the total amount of work needed to complete the task.
First, calculate the total amount of work in man-days:
\[ \text{Total work} = \text{Number of workers} \times \text{Number of days} \]
\[ \text{Total work} = 5 \text{ workers} \times 10 \text{ days} = 50 \text{ man-days} \]
Now, if 10 workers are available to complete the same 50 man-days of work, we can determine how many days it will take by dividing the total work by the number of workers:
\[ \text{Number of days} = \frac{\text{Total work}}{\text{Number of workers}} \]
\[ \text{Number of days} = \frac{50 \text{ man-days}}{10 \text{ workers}} = 5 \text{ days} \]
Therefore, it will take 10 workers 5 days to complete the task.
First, we calculate the total amount of work needed, which is the product of the number of workers and the number of days they work. If 5 workers can complete the task in 10 days, the total work is:
\[ \text{Total Work} = 5 \, \text{workers} \times 10 \, \text{days} = 50 \, \text{worker-days} \]
This means it takes 50 worker-days to complete the task.
Next, we need to find out how many days it will take for 10 workers to complete the same amount of work. Let \( D \) be the number of days it takes for 10 workers to complete the task. Since the total work remains the same, we set up the following equation:
\[ 10 \, \text{workers} \times D \, \text{days} = 50 \, \text{worker-days} \]
Solving for \( D \):
\[ D = \frac{50 \, \text{worker-days}}{10 \, \text{workers}} \]
\[ D = 5 \, \text{days} \]
Therefore, it will take 10 workers 5 days to complete the same task.
