Question 857944: 50 Men Work 10 Hour A Day To Make 1200 Boxes,if 40 Men Work to Make 3200 Boxes, how many hours they need a day? Answer by JulietG(1812) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 50 men working 10 hours a day is 500 man-hours
It takes 500 man-hours to make 1200 boxes
Each hour 1200/500 boxes can be made.
2.4 boxes can be made per man-hour.
.
To make 3200 boxes, how many man-hours are needed?
3200/2.4 = 1333.33333 man-hours.
With 40 men working, 1333.33333/40 = 33 hours total.
To find how many hours per day, you will need to know how many days or how many hours in a day.
If they work 10 hour days like their counterparts, 3 days will be necessary.
