9 persons can do 1/3 of a work in 10 days.
\n" ); document.write( "if they took 2 more day's to complete the work, how many persons need to complete it?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find how many man-days required to complete the work
\n" ); document.write( "3(9 * 10) = 270 man-days
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find how many men (m) required if they took 12 days
\n" ); document.write( "12m = 270
\n" ); document.write( "m = 270/12
\n" ); document.write( "m = 22.5 ~ 23 men required
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Sorry I made a mistake here, 10 days only completed 1/3 of the job, so it would take 30 days with 9 people
\n" ); document.write( "therefore the equation should be
\n" ); document.write( "Find how many men (m) required if they took 32 days,(two days more)
\n" ); document.write( "32m = 270
\n" ); document.write( "m = 270/32
\n" ); document.write( "m = 8.4375 ~ 9 men still required, they would finish earlier on the 32nd day \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
