Answer 1

Question : 11 men can dig 27 by 4 metre long trench in one day. How many men should be employed for digging 27 metre long trench of the same type in one day ?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

11 men can dig 27/4 meter in 1 day

Solution :

Let the men needed for digging 27 m = x

so, let's represent this problem in the form of ratio for better understanding

11 : x : : 27/4 : 27

According To problem :

⇒11 / x = (27/4 ) / 27

⇒ x × 27/4 = 11 × 27

⇒ 297 = 27x/4

⇒ 297 × 4 = 27x

⇒ 1188 = 27x

⇒ x = 1188/27

⇒ x = 44

Therefore , The Number of men needed to dig 27 meter trench

= 44 men
