6/4 = ?
6/12 = ?
Let's first calculate how long it would take two men to paint the bedroom.
a) Two men:
To find the time it would take two men, we need to divide the time it takes one man by the number of men.
Time taken by one man = 6 hours.
Time taken by two men = Time taken by one man / Number of men
= 6 hours / 2
= 3 hours
Therefore, it would take two men 3 hours to paint the bedroom.
b) Four men:
Similarly, to find the time it would take four men, we divide the original time by the number of men.
Time taken by four men = 6 hours / 4
= 1.5 hours
Hence, it would take four men 1.5 hours to paint the bedroom.
c) Twelve men:
Again, we divide the original time by the number of men to determine how long it would take twelve men.
Time taken by twelve men = 6 hours / 12
= 0.5 hours
Therefore, it would take twelve men 0.5 hours (or 30 minutes) to paint the bedroom.
In summary:
a) Two men: 3 hours
b) Four men: 1.5 hours
c) Twelve men: 0.5 hours (or 30 minutes)
