Use either direct or inverse proportions to answer the following. Three men build a wall in ten days. How long would it take five men??

They have already built it :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Parth (parthkohli):

Why would they build it again when the wall is already built?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Dunno mate.

Parth (parthkohli):
