10 men take 7 days to dig a hole. how many days will it take 4 men to dig the same hole at the same rate?
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "# of days and # of men are inversely related.
\n" ); document.write( "d = k/m
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"k\" using \"10 men take 7 days to dig a hole\":
\n" ); document.write( "7 = k/10
\n" ); document.write( "k = 70
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "d = 70/m
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve your problem:
\n" ); document.write( "d = 70/4 = 17 1/2 days
\n" ); document.write( "============================
