QUESTION: If two(2) men can build two(2) engines in two(2) hours, then how many men will it take to build eighteen(18) engines in six(6) hours?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "One way to do this, is by finding the the man-hours required to build one engine>
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "It says:
\n" ); document.write( "2*2 = 4 man-hours to build two engines, therefore:
\n" ); document.write( "it takes 2 man-hours to build one engine
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = no. of men required to build 18 engines in 6 hrs
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Man-hrs = no of engines * 2 man-hrs/per engine
\n" ); document.write( "6x = 18*2
\n" ); document.write( "6x = 36
\n" ); document.write( "x = 36/6
\n" ); document.write( "x = 6 men to build 18 engines in 6 hrs
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Did this make sense to you? \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
