Question

12 men can do a piece of work in 8 days how many men will do it in 6 days ​

Answer 1

Answer:

16 mens

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume that all of the men work at the same rate. If 12 men can do it in 8 days and each man does the same portion, 1 man can do 1/12 of the job in 8 days or 1/(12*8)=1/96 of the job per day. In order to do it in 6 days, the overall rate needs to be 1/6 of the job per day. 1/96 (jobs/day)/worker * w workers=1/6 jobs/day, (1/6)/(1/96)=16 workers.

Answer 2

let the number of men be x.

Step-by-step explanation:

12 = 8

x = 6

now,

it is indirect proportion.

so,

12/x = 6/8

or, 6x = 96

or, x= 96/6

# x = 16.

so 16 men are required to complete in 6 days.
