Answers
Answer:
Solution:
- 11 potters can make 143 pots in 8 days.
1 potter can make 143 pots in 8 × 11 days.
1 potter can make 1 pot in (8 × 11)/143 days.
- Let the number of potters required be x, then;
x potters can make 1 pot in (8 × 11)/( 143 × x) days
x potters can make 169 pots in (8 × 11 × 169)/(143 × x ) days
But the number of days given = 4
According to the problem;
(8 × 11 × 169)/(143 × x ) = 4
14872/143x = 4
572x = 14872
x = 14872/572
x = 26
Therefore,
26 potters are required to make 169 pots in 4 days.
