Answer:

Scale on a map is important in order to give the map reader a sense of size. Maps are just about always smaller than what they really represent, and scale is a way of quantifying how much smaller they are.

First, find yourself a map. Then, using two points, find both the distance on the map and the true distance. Next, you divide the true distance by the measured map distance, and find your scale. Last, you need to place that ratio onto your map.

Answer:

A scale is usually defined as a ratio between the distance on the map and the real distance on the ground surface. For example, a scale of 1:100000 signifies that 1 cm on the map corresponds to a distance of 1 km on the actual ground surface.

It is commonly used in the maps, given at the lower portion in the form of a line or ruler. This is a very important tool as it helps in understanding the distance between the two places. It gives the idea about how large or small a distance is.

4 men and 6 women can complete a work in 8 days, while 3 men and 7 women can complete
olga nikolaevna [1]
4 men x 8 days = 32 days work content & 6 women x 8 days = 48 work content

6 women at 1/400 per day x 8 days is 48/400. 352+ so 1 mans daily output is 11 work units per day x 4 men = 44 work output per day x 8 days = 352 total work output

3 men x 10 days = 30 days work content & 7 women x 10 days = 70 work content
1 man work output is 11 x 3 men x 10 days = 333 work units

one woman’s work output is 1/400 per day x 7 women = 7/400 per day x 10 days = Total of 70 work output plus men’s output of 330 = 400 work units.

10 women x 40 days = 400 work content

so if 10 men carried out the work its 11 x 10 men = 110 work units per day

400 work units + 110 work units per day = 3.6363 days work for 10 men.

1 women daily work output = 1/400 unit per person x 10 women or 10/400 work units per day so 10 x 40 days

4 Men & 6 Women = 8 days (men = 4 x 8 x 11 = 352)( 6 x 8 x 1/40 = 48/40
3 Men & 7 Women=10 days (men = 3 x 10 x 11 = 330)(7 x 10 x 1/40 =70/40)
10 women at 1/400 each per day x 40 days is 400 work units

while 10 men x 11 units is 110 units per day so for 400 units it’s 3.6363 days

1 man is equal approximately to 11 Women

10 men can do job in 3.6363 days x ratio of 11 =

Answer: It will taken 10 women x 40 days to complete the same job.
