Question

a carpenter can make 51 chairs in 17 days how many days does he need to make 24 such chairs at the same speed

Answer 1

Answer:

Carpenter makes 51 chairs in 17 days. So we can how many chairs he will manufacture in one day.

51 : 17 :: x : 1

=> 17 * x = 51

=> x = 51 / 17 = 3 chairs

Hence in one day he will make 3 chairs

So for 24 chairs he requires,

=> 24 / 3 = 8 days

Hence he will take 8 days to complete 24 chairs.

Answer 2

17*24/51
=8
24chairs can be made in 8 days.
