If 12 men working 8hrs a day can do a piece of work in 15 days, how many hrs a day must 20 men work in order to do it in 8 day?
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "hrs is indirectly related to # of days and to # of men
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "h = k/(d*m)
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"k\" using
\n" ); document.write( "\"12 men working 8hrs a day can do a piece of work in 15 days\"
\n" ); document.write( "8 = k/(15*12)
\n" ); document.write( "k = 1440
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "h = 1440/(d*m)
\n" ); document.write( "how many hrs a day must 20 men work in order to do it in 8 day?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "h = 1440/(8*20)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "hrs per day = 9
