Question

If 16 men can make 320 art pieces in one day, how many men will be needed to make 960 such art pieces in one day?

• A. 28
• B. 40
• C. 48
• D. 50

Answer 1

The correct option is C

48

More men, more art pieces; less men, less art pieces.
Thus, this is a case of direct variation.

Let the required number of men be $x$.
Then,

$⟹x=\frac{16\times 960}{320}$ = 48

$\therefore$ 48 men will be needed to make 960 art pieces in one day.
