Okay here you go. Please mark as Brainliest.

Step-by-step explanation:

So here, we need to use the unitary method.

10 men can dig a pond in days = 8

1 man can dig a pond in days = 8/10

So, 16 men can dig a pond in days = 8/10 * 16

                                                          = 0.8 * 16

                                                          = 12.8 ≈ 12.9

∴ 16 men will take exactly 12.9 days to dig a pond.

Hope so this helps. =)
