Question 1065626
5 men and 4 women can shovel as much snow in 6 days as 4 men and 6 women can shovel in 5 days. Who are the better workers, the men or women and by how much?
<pre>I don't know about being "better" workers, but when it comes to time taken to do the shoveling, a man is faster, as a woman takes twice the time a man takes.
<b>OR</b>
In both cases, the men did a larger portion of the shoveling than the women.
In the 6 days taken to shovel, the 5 men did {{{5/7}}} of the shoveling, while the 4 women did {{{2/7}}}.
In the 5 days taken to shovel, the 4 men did {{{4/7}}} of the shoveling, while the 6 women did {{{3/7}}}.
