Find the number of days needed for 1 woman to finish the work:
14 women = 48 days
1 woman = 48 x 14 = 672 days
Find the number of women at work:
Number of women = 14 - 6 = 8
Find the number of days needed for 8 woman to finish the work:
1 woman = 672 days
8 women = 672 ÷ 8 = 84 days
Answer: They will need 84 days
