Math Problem: Mission Possible – Solving Stunt Coordination Puzzle

Hollywood’s action-packed scenes don’t just happen; they require meticulous planning and teamwork. For the latest Mission Impossible movie, Tom Cruise is preparing a breathtaking stunt involving a high-altitude jump from a helicopter. The stunt coordination team must ensure every detail is executed flawlessly, from the rigging to the pyrotechnics. However, with the movie’s release date approaching, the producers have requested the stunt be completed in half the original timeline.

Word Problem

Initially, five technicians working 6 hours a day planned to complete the stunt preparation in 10 days. However, due to the new deadline, the stunt must be completed in just 5 days, with the same working hours each day.
