Question

It takes 15 men working steadily 4 days to dig the foundation for a new apartment. How many days would it have taken 25 men working at the same rate to dig the foundation? Express your answer as a decimal to the nearest tenth.]

Answer 1

Answer:

2.4 days is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

It takes 15 men working steadily 4 days to dig the foundation for a new apartment.

Let 25 men takes 'x' days to complete the same task.

Applying ratio we get:

$\frac{15}{25} =\frac{x}{4}$

Solving this we get;

=> $25x=60$

So, x = 2.4 days
