This is from the chapter Direct and Inverse proportion for Grade VIII. Cannot seem to get the concept of having 3 variables. Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 8*40*21=6720 man hours
10*14=140
6720/140=48
48 men needed to do the job in 14 days working 10 hours a day!
