Answer:

10 days and 16 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

15 men work in 16 days to complete the work. So 1 man contributes 16/15 days.

For 20 men there is an addition of 5 men. [20–15)* 16/15] days = 16/3 days. Substract 16/3 days from 16 days = 16 - (16/3) = 10 days and 16 hours.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 20 men will take x days to complete the work.

Since, there is a relation of inverse proportion between no of men and no of days.

Therefore,

$20x = 16 \times 15 \\ \\ x = \frac{240}{20} \\ \\ x = 12$

Answer:

$g(7)=4$

Step-by-step explanation:

We look for where $x=7$ . The way you find the answer is first, find the point $(0, 7)$ . Draw a line straight up and down, and see where that line intersects the function. Those intersection points are your answer(there will always be only 1 for a function, but if a graph isn't a function, there might be more than 1).

Using this method here, we see that $g(7)$ intersects our line at $(7, 4)$ , so $g(7)=4$ .
