If 4 men can finish a job in 6 days,how long would it take 3 men to finish the job,working at the same rate?

Answer 1

If 4 men can finish a job in 6 days, then the rate at which they are working is 1 job/4 men/6 days = 1/24 jobs per day per man.

If 3 men were working at the same rate, they would complete a total of 3 * (1/24) = 1/8 job per day.

Therefore, it would take 3 men 8 days to finish the job working at the same rate.
