    To solve this problem, you must follow the proccedure below:

    1. First, you must calculate the Constant of proportionality "k".

    2. The problem says that t he number of days needed to remodel a house varies inversely as the number of people working on the job. Then:

    Number of days=K/Number of people

    K = (Number of days) (Number of people)

    18 weeks=135 days

    K=135x4

    K=540

    3. Now, you have:

    Number of days=540/Number of people

    8 weeks=60 days

    Number of people=540/60

    Number of people=9

    How many people are needed?

    The answer is: 9
