Question

if 28 men can reap a field in 8 days, in how many days will 14 men do the same work?

Answer 1

Solution :
------------------

Let the required number of days be x.

_______________________
Number of men | 28 | 14 |
-----------------------------------------------
Number of days | 8 | x |
_________________________

Cleary, more men will take less days.

So, it is a case of inverse proportion.

•°• 28 × 8 = 14 × x

=> 28 × 8 = 14x

=> x = 28 × 8 / 14

=> x = 16


Hence , the required number of days is 16.
