Question

If 48 men can dig a trench in 14 days . How much time required to dug a hole from 7 men ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

96 days

Step-by-step explanation:

men   days

48      14

7        x

(it is in inverse variation, as when the number of men decreases the number of days taken to dig the hole increases)

x = 48*14/7 (7 and 14 gets cancelled)

x = 48*2

(NOTE: Since it's in inverse proportion, like direct variation, we do not   cross multiply. To remember how to multiply easily note that the direction should form a 7 or L inverted or erect. Like in the question, 48*14/7  the image of L inverted  is being formed)

hope it helps

have a great day
