Question

plse solve this

Answer 1

24 men did 1/3 of a work in 10 days.It becomes necessary to complete the job in 15 days.How many additional men were required to the crew of 30 to complete the task?

Answer 2

first you need to find out how much work each man did. do you know how to do that?

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

first we need to compensate for the other 6 workers that are in the crew

6/24=1/4 so the other 6 workers also did 1/4 of 1/3 of the work so you multiply that together

1/4*1/3=1/12

then add that to the 1/3 work to get the total work that was done by the crew in the 10 days(1/3=4/12)

4/12+1/12=5/12

so overall the 30 man crew got 5/12 of the work done in 10 days

now we need to calculate the work done by each man so what id do is multiple the fractuin by 6/6

6/6*5/12=30/72

which means if we divide it by 30 for th amount of men each man did 1/72 the work in ten days and since the total work already done is 30/72 we need 42/72 more
then divide by the amount of work each man does

(42/72)/(1/72)=42

but since we only have 5 days left and not 10 we need to double the number to 82

SO 82 more men

Answer 5

i hope this makes some kind of sense

Answer 6

so answer is 82 men

Answer 7

Answer 10

because it says at the end that you are working with a 30 man crew but they only described the work of 24 of the so you have to compensate for the other 6 men that you allready have

Answer 12

same steps but with 1/3 not 5/12 let me get the answer for you really fast

Answer 13

so each man still did 1/72 of the work you just need 48 instead of 42 which gives you 96 men

Answer 14

same steps but with 1/3 not 5/12 let me get the answer for you really fast
