It takes three painters working at the same rate 2 work-days to finish painting an office. They need to paint a second, larger office but now assume one painter gets sick, and only two painters are available. If they are expected to complete the job in fewer days because the office is in urgent need, how many days will it take to finish the job if they are required to work at three-quarters of the time it would normally take?
