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
Multiply denominator (in this case do 6x10)
Multiply the numerator (in this case do 1x1)
So the answer is 1/60
Y=1 because on each equation it needs 1 for it to be the answer
Answer:
maybe do the math
Step-by-step explanation:
12 pigs×4 legs=48 legs
18 chickens×2 legs=36 legs
48 legs+36 legs=84 legs
12 are pigs and 18 are chickens
