F​

Answer 1

Answer:

70

Step-by-step explanation:

Again, 18 women can complete the work in 60 days.

∴ 18×60 women can complete the work in 1 day.

12×36 men = 18×60 women

=> 2 men = 5 womenNow, 8 men + 20 women

= (4×5+20) women = 40 women

∴ 18 women complete the work in 60 days.

∴ 40 women' 20 days' work

= 40×2018×60=2027

∴ Remaining work

= 1 - 2027 = 727

∵ 18×60 women do 1 work in 1 day.

Answer 2

Answer:

16 days

Step-by-step explanation:

First you write the comparison

P=12 : D=27

now we need the number of people and we have the days so the comparison will be

P=x : D=36

now you collectively write it as

P=12 : D=27

P=x : D=36

now cross multiply them you'll get

27x=432

divide 27 on both sides

x=432/27

x=16
