Solution.
\n" ); document.write( "6 people's working rate
\n" ); document.write( "6x = 12 days\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1 people's working rate
\n" ); document.write( "1/6x = 12 days
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 1/6
\n" ); document.write( "x = 72 days\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4 people's working rate
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 72
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 4
\n" ); document.write( "x = 18 days\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "OR\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4/6x = 12 days
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 4/6
\n" ); document.write( "x = 18 days\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "OR \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6 people = 12 days
\n" ); document.write( "1 people = 12*6 = 72 days
\n" ); document.write( "4 people = 72/4 = 18 days\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
