18 farmers can cultivate a farmland in 20 days how many days will it take 6 farmers to cultivate the same farmland at the same rate
We can approach this problem using the concept of man-days.
The number of man-days required to cultivate the farmland in 20 days is 18 x 20 = 360 man-days.
If 18 farmers can complete the task in 20 days, then the total number of man-days available each day is 360 / 20 = 18 man-days.
To find out how many days it would take 6 farmers to complete the task, we divide the total number of man-days required by the number of man-days available per day for 6 farmers:
360 man-days / 6 man-days/day = 60 days.
Therefore, it would take 6 farmers 60 days to cultivate the same farmland at the same rate.
