[tex]8\ people\ for\ 16\ ton\ truck\\ x\ people\ for \ 60 \ ton\ truck\\\\ proportion:\\ 8-16\\ x-60\\\\ cross\ multiplication\\\\ 8*60=16x\\\\ 480=16x\ \ \ \ | divide\ by\ 16\\\\ x=30\\\\ It\ will\ take\ 30\ people.[/tex]
There would be 30 people pulling it. To work it out you do 16 divided by 8=2. Then you do 60 divided by 2= 30.
