Answer:

  6

Step-by-step explanation:

The work involved in making the poster is the product of students and hours:

  work = students × hours = (9 students)(10 hours) = 90 student·hours

__

needed

If hours are reduced to 6, the necessary number of students is ...

  90 student·hours = (6 hours)(students)

  (90 student·hours)/(6 hours) = 15 students . . . . . . divide by 6 hours

additional

If 15 are needed, then the number that must be added is ...

  15 -9 = 6 . . . . students need to be added
