Question

if 12 men can finish a piece of work in 8days, how many days will it take 6 men to do the work at the same rate?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume that all of the men work at the same rate. If 12 men can do it in 8 days and each man does the same portion, 1 man can do 1/12 of the job in 8 days or 1/(12*8)=1/96 of the job per day. In order to do it in 6 days, the overall rate needs to be 1/6 of the job per day. 1/96 (jobs/day)/worker * w workers=1/6 jobs/day, (1/6)/(1/96)=16 workers.

Hope this will help you

Answer:

12 men do the work in =8

1 men do the work = 8*12

6 men do it = 6*12/8

= 9 days
