If all of a roofing company's 16 workers are required to staff 4 roofing crews, how many workers need to be added during the busy season in order to send 8 complete crews out on jobs?

55% Answer Correctly
16
14
17
1
Solution

In order to find how many additional workers are needed to staff the extra crews you first need to calculate how many workers are on a crew. There are 16 workers at the company now and that's enough to staff 4 crews so there are \( \frac{16}{4} \) = 4 workers on a crew. 8 crews are needed for the busy season which, at 4 workers per crew, means that the roofing company will need 8 x 4 = 32 total workers to staff the crews during the busy season. The company already employs 16 workers so they need to add 32 - 16 = 16 new staff for the busy season.
