+318 Five workers have been hired to complete a job. If one additional worker is hired, they could complete the job $4$ days earlier. If the job needs to be completed $20$ days earlier, how many additional workers should be hired?
+1926 So, right now there are \(5\) workers. They need to get the job completed 20 days earlier.
Since each additional worker adds on \(4\) days, we simply have
\(\frac{\text{Number Of Days}}{\text{Days Saved Per Worker}}\). Thus, we can plug in \(20/4 = 5\) workers.
So our answer is 5 workers.
Thanks! :)
