Question

12 workers take 4 hours to complete a job. How long would it take 15 workers to complete the job?

Answer 1

Answer:

3 hours and 12 minutes.

12 Workers complete a job in 4 hours

1 worker complete a job 12 × 4 = 48

15 workers complete a job = 48/15 = 3³/¹⁵ = 3¹/⁵

= 3 hours + 1/5 × 60  minutes = 3 hours 12 minutes.
