Question

If 15 men can finish a job in 48 hours, how many men will be required to do the same job in 30 hours. [1 MARK]

Answer 1

Concept: 1 Mark

As the number of men increases, the time required to finish the job decreases.

$Men\times time=constant$

Let "m" be the number of men required.

$15\times 48=m\times 30$

m = 24

So, 24 men are required to finish the job in 30 hours.
