If 4 men can finish a job in 6 days,how long would it take 3 men to finish the job,working at the same rate?
If 4 men can finish a job in 6 days, then the rate at which they are working is 1 job/4 men/6 days = 1/24 jobs per day per man.
If 3 men were working at the same rate, they would complete a total of 3 * (1/24) = 1/8 job per day.
Therefore, it would take 3 men 8 days to finish the job working at the same rate.
To find out how long it would take 3 men to finish the job, working at the same rate as 4 men, we can use the concept of man-days of work.
Given that 4 men can finish the job in 6 days, it means that the total man-days of work required to complete the job is 4 x 6 = 24.
If 4 men can complete the job in 6 days, then it implies that every day, 4 men can collectively contribute 4 man-days of work.
Now, if we have 3 men working at the same rate, we can assume that they will collectively contribute 3 man-days of work every day.
Therefore, to calculate how many days it would take 3 men to complete the job, we can divide the total man-days of work required (24) by the man-days of work contributed by the 3 men daily (3).
24 man-days of work / 3 man-days of work per day = 8 days
So, it would take 3 men 8 days to finish the job if they work at the same rate as the 4 men.
To find out how long it would take 3 men to finish the job, working at the same rate, we need to use the concept of man-days.
Let's assume that the job requires a certain number of man-days to be completed.
If 4 men can finish the job in 6 days, then the total number of man-days required for the job is 4 (men) * 6 (days) = 24 man-days.
Since 4 men working for 6 days can complete the job in 24 man-days, it means that each day they complete 24 man-days / 6 days = 4 man-days.
Now, if 3 men are working at the same rate, each day they would also complete 4 man-days together.
To find out how long it would take 3 men to finish the job, we divide the total number of man-days needed (24 man-days) by the number of man-days they can complete per day (4 man-days).
So, it would take 24 man-days / 4 man-days per day = 6 days for 3 men to finish the job, working at the same rate.
