Four men can do a job in 48 days How many days will it take 3 men to finish the same job?

Taking into consideration that each man works an 8 hour work day: (4 x 8) x 48 = 1536 man hours to complete the job for 4 men *** (Men x Man hours per day) x Days Worked = Total Job Man Hours *** 1536 / (3 x 8) = 64 days for 3 men to complete the same job *** Total Job Man Hours / (Men x Man Hours per day) = Days until Job Completion***


10 men can complete a job in 14 dayshow long will it take 4 men to finish the same job if they work at the same rate?

Ans- It will take 4 men to complete the work in 35 days.


If a job takes 12 men 4 hours to complete how long should it take 15 men to complete the job?

answer:for a problem like this you have to compute how many person-hours it will take to complete the job and then it's easy to figure out the total time.so,let j = total job person-hours = 12 people * 4 hours = 48 person-hoursso, we know we need 48 person-hours to complete the entire job. so, given that we have now 15 people to complete the job,let t = total time to complete job with 15 people = 48 person-hours / 15 people = 3.2 hours, or 3 hours 12 minutestherefore, for a job that takes 12 people 4 hours, assuming there is no particular constraint on the amount done per person, the job can be done in 3 hours 12 minutes with 15 people. (for instance, although one woman can have a baby in nine months, 9 women can't have a baby in one month)previous answer:I think it'll be 1hourmy own conclusion


If it takes 3 men 6 hours to dig 12 holes how long does it take 2 men to dig 9 holes?

It takes 3 x 6 = 18 man hours to dig 12 holes. Therefore it takes 18/12 = 1.5 man hours to dig 1 hole. To dig 9 holes takes 9 x 1.5 man hours = 13.5 man hours If 2 men are working then they take 13.5/2 = 6.75 hours or 6 hours 45 minutes.


If it takes 4 men 4 hours to dig 4 holes how long does it take to dig half a hole?
