    1) Increased by 2 times then 16 hours

    2) Increased by 4 times then 8 hours

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given : -

    ==> 4 construction crew members need 32 hours to pour concrete foundations.

    ==> All the members work at a same pace.

    1) If the numbers of workers are increased by 2 time i. e., 4 workers * 2 = 8 workers. It would take half of the time that is taken now i. e., 32 hours : 2 = 16 hours.

    2) If the numbers of workers are increased by 4 time i. e., 4 workers * 4 = 16 workers. It would take 1/4th of the time that is taken now i. e., 32 hours : 4 = 8 hours.
