work rate question
Plastering needs completing in 3 days.
7 plasterers would take 8 days to complete this plaster work.
How many plasterers are needed to complete the plastering in 3 days?

Is it 7 x 8 = 56
so 1 plasterer takes 56 days
56 / 18 = 3.1
56 / 19 = 2.9

So 19 plasteres are needed to complete the work in 3 days.
Is this correct?
