8^10=6^x
80=6x
13.33=x
You are completing the same task so each side of the equation. This is what is called a balanced equation. Whatever you do to one side you have to do to the other.
It is not a direct ratio of 8 is to 10 as 6 is to x. This will give you the wrong answer. You are comparing each side of the equation to the task at hand. The given is that you know that each side of the equation equals each other because it performs the same task.
Building 5 houses takes 12 x 75 ie 900 man-days. 20 men will thus take 900/20 ie 45 days.
Probably longer, unless Tommy Walsh is the gaffer...
It takes 100 man-days, so three men would take 33 and a third days and 8 men 12½ days. Working together the 3 men and 8 men would take 100/11 or 9 and a ninth days
Well, buckle up, buttercup. If 25 men can build a house in 18 days, that means it takes 25*18 = 450 man-days to build the house. Now, if you throw 15 men into the mix, you just need to divide those 450 man-days by 15 to find out how many days it will take them. So, 450 man-days divided by 15 men equals 30 days for those fellas to build that house.
They will take 4 days to complete the well.
