Answer 2

Let us suppose 6 workers will take x days to weed a field.

As the number of workers increases, the number of days decreases.

So, the number of workers and number of days are in inverse proportion.

=> 5 × 12 = 6 × x

=> x = 60/6

=> x = 10

Let us suppose 15 workers will take y days to weed a field.

therefore, 5 × 12 = 15 × y

=> y = 60/5

=> y = 4 days

Hence, 6 workers will take 10 days, while 15 workers will take 4 days to weed a field.
