Three men can build a wall in 8 days. How long will it take them if they have the help of 2 boys? Assume that each boy works half as fast as each man.

(with explanation pls)​

Sagot :

Answer:

6 days

Step-by-step explanation:

2 boys that each work half as fast as the men is equivalent to having one extra man. So instead of 3 men we have 4. 4/3 the manpower means 3/4 the time. 3/4 of 8 is 6.

Answer:

6 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3 men can build 1/8 of a wall in 1 day.

So 1 man can build 1/24 wall in 1 day.

So 1 boy can build  1/48 in 1 day and 2 boys can build 1/24 wall in 1 day.

So we have the equivalent of  4 men working and they can build 4 * 1/24

= 1/6 of a wall per day

So the answer is 6 days.
