Question 67066
If 30 men can plant 1000 trees in 9 days, how many days would it take for 36 men to set out 4400 trees?
:
Using man/days: 30*9 = 270 man/days to plant 1000 trees.
:
Then 4.4 * 270 = 1188 man/days to plant 4400 trees.
:
Let x = number of days for 36 men to plant 4400 trees
:
36x = 1188
x = 1188/36
x = 33 days for 36 men to plant 4400 trees

Check our solution doing it another way
{{{270/36x = 1000/4400}}}
Cross mult
36x * 1000 = 270*4400
36000x = 1188000
x = 1188000/36000
x = 33 days
