Question

36 men can do a piece of work in 7 days. How many men will do the same work in 42 days

Answer 1

Answer:

6 men

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's do this logically:

36 men = 7 days

If we decrease the men by a certain factor, we have to increase the days by the same factor since less people = more time.

36 men divided by 6 = 6 men

7 days multiplied by 6 = 42 days

So it takes 6 men, 42 hours to do the same work.

Hope this helps!
