Answer to Question #111974 in Algebra for Mia Parker

Question

i've been stuck on this all night and cant figure it out (for a homework) and i need to know the answer and how i got to it: 6 tractors take 11 days to collect the harvest. how long would it take 15 tractors to do the same work?

Answer 1

The amount of the work is $11*6=66$ tractor*days or $15*x$ Tractor*days.

So,

$66=x*15$

$x=\frac{66}{15}=4.4$ days.

It will take 4.4 days for 15 tractors to do the work
