8 men can cut 3 kg of onions in 1 hour 40 minutes then how many people are required to cut the same amount of onions in 40 min​

Sagot :

Answer:

3 men approx

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

8 men can cut 3 kg of onions in 1 hour 40 minutes

let us convert the time to minutes

=1 hour 40min

=60+40

=100 minutes

We are told that

8 men will cut the 3kg onion in 100minutes

Hence x men will cut 3 kg onion in 40 minutes

cross multiply

100x= 40*8

100x=320

divide both sides by 100

x= 320/100

x=3.2men

Hence it will take 3 men approx to cut the onions
