Answers
Hey mate here is your answer
Method 1:
6 men=12 days
8 men=? days(x)
By cross multiplication
x×6=8×12
6x=96
x=16
Therefore 8 men can do in 16 days.
Method 2:
6 men=12 days
1 men=12/6=2 days
So if 1 men can do the work in 2 days, then 8 men can do in 8×2= 16 days

Given:
6 men can do a piece of work in 12 days
To find:
How many days will 8 men take to do the same work.
Solution:
Method 1:
6 men take 12 days to do a piece of work.
Let 8 men take x days to do the same work.
6 men ---------> 12 days
8 men ----------> x days
Therefore,
x = 12 * 8 / 6
x = 96 / 6
x = 16.
Method 2:
6 men take 12 days to do a piece of work.
Let a man take x days to do the same work.
6 men ---------> 12 days
1 men ----------> x days
Therefore,
x = 12 * 1 /6
x = 12 / 6
x = 2
A man can do a piece of work in 2 days.
Let 8 men take x days to do the same work.
1 man ---------> 2 days
8 men ---------> x days
Therefore,
x = 8 * 2 / 1
x = 16.
Conclusion:
Therefore, 8 men can do a piece of work in 16 days.......
