how long will it take 14 machines to complete the task, given that 8 machines can complete the same task in 7 days?

Answer:

4 days

Step-by-step explanation:

If 8 machines can complete a task in 7 days, how long will 14 machines take?

So, it is obvious that if the number of machines increases, the number of days taken to complete the task decreases; thus proving that this is an indirect / inverse proportion.

Let's take x as the number of days we need to find out.

 8 machines : 7 days

14 machines : x days

14 × x = 8 × 7

14x = 56

x = [tex]\frac{56}{14}[/tex]

x = 4
