Question

3/4th of work is done by A in in 15 days. B does 1/8 of the same work in 5 days. calculate the total number of days in which both will complete the work

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming ‘he’(whoever it is) and ‘you’ have the same working rate and abilities, then:

if 3/4 of the work was done in 18 days,

then how long will it take to complete 1/4 of the work?

Mathematically:

if3/4=18;if3/4=18;

then 1/4 = ?

We’d naturally expect a 4th of the work to be done quickly and so in less days so, it should be less — if less, more divides:

(1/4)/(3/4)∗18=6(1/4)/(3/4)∗18=6

You/ He should be able to complete a quarter of the work in approximately 6 days.
