Answer 1

Given

we have given 16 men can do a piece of work in 14 days .

To Find

we have to find the days will 7 men take to complete the same work

$\sf\huge {\underline{\underline{{Solution}}}}$

16 men complete one job in 14 days

then 16 m = 1/14

Now how fast 7 men can do ?

7m= ?

Divide the whole Equation by 7/16

we divide by 7/16 so 16 would be cancel and we obtain 7 on the left side.

=> 7/16 *16m = 1/14*7/16

=> 7m= 7/( 14*16)

=> 7m= 7/(7*2*16)

seven cancels out on right side

=> 7m= 1/32

It looks like seven men will get one job done in 32 days.

Answer 2

Answer:

32 days is the correct Answer
