If 7 workers took 48 days to complete a project in how many days would 12 workers complete the same project

7 workers take 48 days to do one full job.

Together, they do (1/48) of the job per day.

Each worker does (1/7) of (1/(48) = 1/(48·7) of the job per day.

12 workers would do (12 / (48·7) = 1/(4·7) = 1/28 of a job per day.

So it would take them 28 days to do one whole job. 

11/36 is .305 repeating
