You can put this solution on YOUR website! If 12 carpenters can construct 3 homes in 20 days,
how many days will it take 10 carpenters to construct 4 homes?
:
Find the number of man-days to construct 3 homes
12 * 20 = 240 man-days
:
Find the number of days to construct 1 home = 80 man-days
:
Let d = no. of days for 10 to build 4
:
10d = 4(80)
10d = 320
d =
d = 32 days for 10 men to build 4 homes
