Question
It takes six analysts forty-two days to write a report.
If the report had to be ready in 7 days, how many analysts would be needed?
Solution
Sure, let's solve this problem step by step.
-
First, we need to find out how much work one analyst can do in one day. We know that six analysts can complete the report in 42 days, so the amount of work one analyst can do in one day is 1/(6*42).
-
Next, we need to find out how much work needs to be done in one day if the report has to be ready in 7 days. This is 1/7.
-
Now, we divide the total amount of work that needs to be done in one day by the amount of work one analyst can do in one day to find out how many analysts are needed. This is (1/7) / (1/(6*42)).
-
Simplifying this, we get 6*42/7 = 36.
So, 36 analysts would be needed to complete the report in 7 days.
