the time to complete a bridge varies inversely with the square root of the number of people working. if 9 people can complete the job in 75 days then how long would it take 25 people?

Respuesta :

If 09 people can complete the job in 75 days then 25 people needs 45 days to complete the job.

Let T be the time and L be the Labor (Number of people working on the bridge).

T ∞ 1/√L  (Inverse relationship)

T = K/√L                   ----------------------------- (1)

Since, Constant "K" is introduced once the variation sign (∞) changes to equality (=) sign.

According to the question,

Time (T) = 75 days    and

labor (L) = 09

From the equation (1), we get,

    T = K / √L

⇒ 75   = K/√9

⇒ 75= K/3

⇒ K= 225

First, the relationship between these variables is:

                       T = 225/√L

Therefore, how long it will take 25 people to do it means that we should look for the time.

                           T=225/√L

                      ⇒  T= 225/√25

                      ⇒  T= 225/5

                      ⇒  T= 45 days.

therefore, 25 people needs 45 days to complete the job.
