Question 881568: If 10 boys clear a plot of land for 60minutes, how many minutes would it take 15 boys to clear that same plot of land? Answer by JulietG(1812) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! It takes 600 minutes' worth of work to clear that plot.
10 boys do it in 60 minutes (10*60=600)
If 15 boys are working, it will take 600 / 15, or 40 minutes to clear the same amount.
