16 men can do 1/2 of a work in 9 days. in how many days will 8men finish the same work? ​

Answer 1

16 men can do 1/2 work in 9 days.

Thus, 16 men can do complete work in 18 days.

No. Of men is inversely proportional to the no. of days required to complete the work.

Let x be the no. of days required to complete the work by 8 men.

Thus,

(16)(18)=8(x)

x=36

Thus, 8 men can finish the work in 36 days.
