Question

if 36 men can do a piece of work in 24 days then how many days will 16 men take to do the same work?​

Answer 1

Answer:

12days

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

let x number of workers can complete the work in 15 days

here the ratio of the number of workers = 36

the ratio of the number of working days = 24:16

the number of workers and their working days is in inverse propertion.

therefore 36:x+ 24:16

or, 9/x = 24/16= 6/4

or 9x =6 x 4

or x=  6 x 4/9 =12
