If it took 6 people 9 hours to build a barn, how long would it take 12 people to build the same barn?

yallbabynene08:

hello anyone

Leilani0324:

Cuz you double tha amount of ppl nd hours ig

imnotjay:

Its basically a ratio it took 6 ppl 9 hrs to build a barn so 12 ppl = ? 6:9 12:?

imnotjay:

The amount of hrs would be smaller because more ppl means it would finish faster

yallbabynene08:

no it not 12

IhelpUuHELPme:

Well, the problem is asking how long it would take 12 people to build the same barn. Since it took 6 people 9 hours to build the born \[6 people = 9 h\] it would take 9 hours divided by 2 for 12 people. Logically the more people there is, the less time it takes. \[6 \times 2 = 12\] which means that \[9 \div 2 = ?\] would give you your answer.

yallbabynene08:

what do yall think the answer is

KazGotFetee:

So this is a ratio of 6:9 so to find how long it takes 12 ppl to make a barn

KazGotFetee:

so basically whats 9 divided by 2

Leilani0324:

9 divided by 2 is 4.5

KazGotFetee:

and you got your answer

yallbabynene08:

yall r all wrong

IhelpUuHELPme:

How so?

IhelpUuHELPme:

It seems all our equations were accurate to the question and were also similar too -

Adverturetime57:

6 people took 9 hours to build a barn . Time taken by 6 people to build barn = 9 hours. Time taken by 12 people to build the same barn. Time taken by 12 people to build the same barn is 18 days

yallbabynene08:

yall r wrong

Adverturetime57:

maybe that will help you

IhelpUuHELPme:

days? waht-

KazGotFetee:

mm maybe do 9 divided by 6 to get 1.5 so now you do 1.5 x 12 and you get your answer and that is...

yallbabynene08:

can i give yall my answer to prove yall wrong
