Question

If there are 12 work men the job will take 8 hours. How many work men will it require to do the job in 5 hours?

Answer 1

Answer:

15/2

Step-by-step explanation:

8 hours = 12 men

5 hours = X men

( Cross Multiply )

8 × X = 12 × 5

8x = 60

( Divide both sides by 8 )

8x/ 8 = 60 /8

X = 15/2
