sixteen men can completed a work in 15 days. 24 children can do the same in 20 days. in how many days will 8 men and 8 children together completed the same work.
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "16m * 15d = 1 job
\n" ); document.write( "16m = (1/15) job/day
\n" ); document.write( "8m = (1/30) job/day (this is the rate for 8 men)
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "24c * 20d = 1 job
\n" ); document.write( "24c = (1/20)job/day
\n" ); document.write( "8c = (1/60)job/day (this is the rate for 8 children)
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let number of days for 8 men and 8 children be \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "x(1/30 + 1/60) = 1 job
\n" ); document.write( "x(3/60)(job/day) = 1 job
\n" ); document.write( "x = 20 days (this is time job would take 8 men and 8 children)
