1) It took 24 workers working 10 hours per day for 24 days to complete a task.
:
Find the no. of man-hours required to complete this job
24 * 10 * 24 = 5760 man-hours
:
At this rate, how many days will it takes 60 workers to complete the same task working 8 hours per day?
:
let d = no. of days required to complete the job
60 * 8 * d = 5760
480d = 5760
d = 5760%2F480
d = 12 days

2)Five robots produce five automotive parts in five minutes,
:
Find how many robot-minutes per part
%285%2A5%29%2F5 = 5 robot-minutes per part
:
How many packages each containing one part could be made by ten robots in ten hours?
%2810%2A10%2A60%29%2F5 = 1200 parts
