Use ratios, 20/15 = 25/x

Multiply 15 by 20, then divide by 25. So 25 men could finish a job in 12 days.

A and b can finish a piece of work in 6 day and 4 days respectively A started the work and worked for 2 days he was then joined by B find the total time taken to finish the work?

A does 1/6 of the work in 1 day. B does 1/4 of the work in 1 day. Assuming there is no synergy, A and B, together do 1/6 + 1/4 = 5/12 of the work in 1 day A worked for 2 days so completed 2*(1/6) = 1/3 of the work. So 2/3 of the work remained to be done by A and B together. They would do it in (2/3) / (5/12) = (2/3) * (12/5) =24/15 = 8/5 = 1.6 days. The total time to finish the work is 2 days + 1.6 days = 3.6 days.


If 6 men took 20 days to plow 1 acre of land how many days will 4 men will take to plow 1 acre of land?

8 children and 12 men complete a certain piece of work in 9 days Each child takes twice the time taken by a man to finish the work In how many days will 12 men finish the same work?

13.5 days Rate of work for men = m Rate of work for children = c Therefore if we combine the rates: m + c = 1/9 Since rate = work-done/time Now m = 2c since rate of men is twice the rate of children Similarly, c = m/2 (rearranging the above) Equation becomes: m + m/2 = 1/9 3m/2 = 1/9 3m = 2/9 m = 2/27 This is the rate at which men work. For the men to complete the work, it will take x days. Rate = work/time Rate = work/x Work is 1 Rate is 2/27 2/27 = 1/x x = 27/2 x = 13.5


Is it correct to use much or many in this sentence how much time do you need to finish your work?

it is proper with that wording to use "much." if the sentance was: how many minutes do you need to finish your work? than you would obviously use "many."

A certain number of men can finish a piece of work in 10 days If however there were 10 men less it will take 10 days more for the work to be finished How many men were there originally?

If a "certain number of men" less 10 takes 20 days (twice as long) to finish the piece of work, then the "certain number of men" who can finish the work in 10 days would 20. If it takes 10 men less twice as long to do the work, then twice 10 men (20) can finish the job in 10 days.

Working together A and B finish work in 16 days.If A does twice the work B does how many days does A take to finish the work alone?

The whole job takes 16 days.If you carve up the job into 48 pieces, then (48/16) = 3 pieces were done each day,of which 'A' did 2 pieces and 'B' did 1 piece.Since 'A' does 2 pieces of work a day, and a whole job consists of 48 pieces,it takes him (48/2) = 24 days to do the whole job alone.
