Question

two workers can wax 4 cars in 4 hours. if the workers work at the same rate, how many cars can 5 workers wax in 10 hours?

Answer 1

hey

Answer 2

If two workers can wax 4 cars in 4 hours.. Then each of them washed 2 cars a piece and it took them 4 hours. If you wash 2 cars in 4 hours then you washed each car in 2 hours.

Worker one .... 2 cars in 4 hours
Worker two.... 2 cars in 4 hours

or

Worker one ... 1 car in 2 hours
Worker two... 1 car in 2 hours
so each work would get 1 car done in 2 hours.


In 10 hours each worker would get 5 cars done.

So the 5 workers would get 25 cars done.

Answer 3

Or in a more simpler way,

if every 2 workers ---> wax 2 cars
then 5 workers ---> wax x cars?

cross multiply and you will get :

x = 10 cars

I guess :)
