Question 1079994: The time taken to load a truck varies inversely with the number of men employed.If 8 men can load a truck in 45 minutes, how long would it take 3 men to load the same truck? Answer by amfagge92(93) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! T∝1/M--where T=time, M=number of men.
T=K/M---i
T=45 M=8
45=K/8
K=360
The formula connecting T And M
T=360/M
∴for 3men
T=360/3
T=120
∴ The time taken for 3men is 120minutes or 2hours
