Answer: 96 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that there is an inverse relationship between the workers and time to complete the job.
Given: 6 members of the team working together, are able to pour foundations in 48 hours.
Let x be the hours would this job take if only half (3) of the team worked on this task.
We get,
[tex]3x=48\times6\\\Rightarrow\ x=\frac{48\times6}{3}\\\Rightarrow\ x=96\ hours[/tex]
This job would take 96 hours if only half of the team worked on this task.
