Question 850440: considering that the work of a woman and that of a child is respectively 2/3 and 1/3 of a man-day.If a full-man is able to execute an acre of weeding activity in three(3) days,what amount of weeding could be done by two women and a child in the same period on similar environment Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let = the rate that a man works = the rate that a woman works = the rate that 2 women work = the rate that a child works
------------------------------------- ( 1 acre of weeding ) / ( 3 days ) = rate of 2 women + 1 child
They can weed 1 and 2/3 acres in 3 days
