Answer 1

Answer:

80 more men

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

A contractor employs 64 workers to lay a road. He agrees to complete the work in  18 days.

we know,

work=men*days*hours

1 work=64 workers*18 days

But if the authorities want the work to be completed in 8 days, how many more  workers should he employ?

let x be more men to employee then the employees are (64+x)

1 work=(64+x) workers*8 days

if work is same then,

64 workers*18 days=(64+x) workers* 8 days

x=80
