Answer:15
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
8 Workers can a work in 30 days
i.e. 1 workers can do the same job in [tex]8\times 30=240\ days[/tex]
If additional workers is hired to do the same work in 16 days
suppose Now x no of workers do the job so, one worker will do the same job in [tex]x\times 16[/tex]
No of days require to complete the job by one worker remains the same (considering all are equally efficient)
[tex]240=x\times 16[/tex]
[tex]x=15\ workers[/tex]
So a total of 15 workers is required to do the same job in 16 days
