Question

If 24 men can finish a piece of work in 15 days, then how many men will be needed to finish it in 20 days?

Answer 1

Answer:

Men Days

24 15

x 20 ( by cross multiply)

24×20= 15x

480 =15x

x = 480/15

x = 32

Hence, 32 men can complete work in 20 days

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We will cross multiply

24 x 20 = 15x

480 = 15x

x = 480/15

x= 32

Therefore 32 men will be required to finish the work in 20 days.
