Solution:
1. Given:
- A team of 5 people can complete the task in 10 days.

2. Calculate the total amount of work in person-days:
- Total work = 5 people * 10 days = 50 person-days.

3. Determine the time required for a team of 8 people to complete the same amount of work:
- Let

t

be the number of days taken by 8 people, then:

8 \text{ people} * t \text{ days} = 50 \text{ person-days}

4. Solve for

t

:

t = \frac{50}{8}

t = 6.25 \text{ days}

The number of days it will take for 8 people to complete the task is

6.25

days.
