none of us can. Can you please help us? An engineer working on the Alaskan pipeline was heard to say, quot;At the time I said I could finish this section in a week, I expected to get two more bulldozers for the job. If they had left me what machines I had, I'd have been only a day behind schedule. As it is, they have taken away all my machines but one, and I'll be weeks behind schedule.quot; How many weeks was he behind schedule?
One week and five days, lol...!
you listen in class WOW i must try that some day x
If his previous number of bulldozers would have finished the job in 8 days, and 2 more would have allowed him to finish in 7, he started with 14. (14 bulldozers working for 8 days would do 112 blocks of work, and 16 working for 7 would do 112 block of work.) Therefore, when he was left with only 1 bulldozer to do it all, it would take 112 days. Subtracting the week he still had left on his schedule this would put him 15 weeks behind.
