Answer 6

So it's going to take more time for seven cooks?

Answer 7

It only took five hours for six cooks, but it's going to take almost 6 hours for seven cooks? How does that make sense?

Answer 11

@elo099, what about the question about the cooks?

Answer 12

oh, um ... idk

Answer 13

5 hrs at 6 cooks is 30 cook hours.

if 7 cooks work then 30/7 is the number of hours

Answer 14

OK

So this can be a little difficult to understand -- so let's show it this way:

If 6 cooks do it on 5 hours, how long would it take 1 cook?

5 hours = time for one cook / 6 cooks
30 = time for one cook

So if it takes 1 cook 30 hours, how long would it take 8 cooks:

30 hours for 1 cook / 8 cooks = 3.75 hours or 3 hours and 45 minutes.

Hope this explanation is helpful.

Answer 15

I think its inverse variation, since if you have more cooks it takes less time.

5 = k/6

k = 30

x = 30/7 = 4.28
