Question

80 women can dig a 250 m deep well in 36 days. How women are required to dig a 200 m deep well in 24 days?​

Answer 1

Given,

80 women can dig a 250m deep well in 36 days.

To find,

The number of women that is needed to dig a 200m deep well in 24 days.

Solution,

We have to apply the normal arithmetic method in order to solve this mathematical problem. Rest of the calculations are given below.

250m well in 36 days = 80 women

1 m well in 36 days = 80/250 women

1 m well in 1 day = (80×36)/250 women

1 m well in 24 days = (80×36)/(250×24) women

200 m well in 24 days = (80×36×200)/(250×24) = 576000/6000 = 96 women

Hence, 96 women will be needed.
