\n" ); document.write( " How many days of 6 hrs. each would it take for 21 women if 3 women do as much work as 2 men?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the no. of man-hrs to complete the job
\n" ); document.write( "15 * 21 * 8 = 2520 man hrs
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2 man-hrs = 3 women-hrs
\n" ); document.write( "therefore
\n" ); document.write( "1 women-hr = 2/3 man-hr
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let d = no. days for these women to do the job
\n" ); document.write( "21 * 2/3 * 6d = 2520
\n" ); document.write( "84d = 2520
\n" ); document.write( "d = 30 days
