Twelve men take 6 hours to finish a piece of work.
In 1 hour, the 12 men will finish 1/6 of the work
( 1 job ) / ( 6 hrs ) = ( 1/6 of a job ) / ( 1 hr )
-----------------------------------------
That means there is of the job
left to do.
-------------------
If 12 men take 6 hours to finish a piece of work,
1 man will take 12 times as long, to finish the work, so
( 1 job ) / ( 6*12 = 72 hrs ) = rate of working for 1 man, or

-------------------
After 1 hour, there are a total of men working
20 men will work 20 times as fast as 1 man on the
of a job that remains, so
Let = hours for the 20 men to finish the job

Gelneren [198K]

Answer: D. 6^{30}

Step-by-step explanation:

Using exponent rules an exponent to the power of a number will multiply by each other.

So the -4 and -9 will multiply.

The 6 in the numerator will now have a positive exponent of 36.

\frac{6^{36}}{6^6}

Now we can divide and when we do so the exponents will subtract from each other.

So 36 - 6 = 30

And the base of 6 does not change.

The simplified form is 6^{30}
