Answer 2

Answer:

54 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, 36 men can finish a piece of work in 24 days

=> The number of man-days = 36*24 = 864

Let x be the number of days taken by the 16 men to do the piece of work

=> The number of man-days = 16x

But the number of man-days remains constant.

=> 16x = 864

x = 864/16 = 54

=> 16 men take 54 days to complete the piece of work.
