Question 878757: Hi everyone I need help in this bukit panjang govt high school 2013 prelim Emaths qns :
12 men planned to complete building a shed in 15 days. Only 1/3 of the shed was built at the end of 6 days due to poor weather conditions. Assuming that all men worked at the same rate, how many more men were needed for the rest of the job to be completed as scheduled ?
Thank you and appreciate your help rendered 😊

Hi
N%5B1%5D+%2A+T%5B1%5D+%2A+green%28W%5B2%5D%29+=N%5B2%5D%2AT%5B2%5D%2Agreen%28W%5B1%5D%29
12%2A6days%2A%282%2F3%29+=+N%5B2%5D%2A9days%2A%281%2F3%29
144%2F9+=+N%5B2%5D = 16 men (4 more men needed to finish the rest)
