7 people can pave a driveway in 9 hours. how long will it take for 11 people to pave a driveway? ​

Step-by-step explanation:

If 7 people can pave the drive in 9 hours, we can use that information in equation form to find out how long it would take 1 person to pave the drive alone.

and cross multiply

x = 63. That means that it would take 1 person, working alone, 63 hours to get the job done. If that be the case, and assuming that the 2 added people work at the same rate as do the first 9, we simply divide that time alone into 11 parts.

It would take 11 people hours to pave that driveway.

x is variable or an unknown value to find

example:

2x = 5 which means x = 3
