When building a house, the number of days required to build is inversely proportional to with the number of workers.
\n" ); document.write( " One house was built in 24 days by 10 workers.
\n" ); document.write( " How many days would it take to build a similar house with 16 workers?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let t = no. of days required with 16 men
\n" ); document.write( "An inverse ratio equation
\n" ); document.write( " $\"t%2F10\"$ = $\"24%2F16\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "16t = 10 * 24
\n" ); document.write( "16t = 240
\n" ); document.write( "t = 240/16
\n" ); document.write( "t = 15 days \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
