Question

4 people can trim a hedge in one hour.

Answer 1

4 people in 60 minutes =
1 person in 15 minutes

3 people = 45 minutes

Answer 2

Answer:

The total time taken by 3 men to trim the hedge would be 80 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The time taken by 4 men to trim the hedge is 1 hour or 60 min.

2) One me would take 4 times more time alone i.e. Time taken by only one man would be 4 hours or 240 min.

3) The time taken by 3 men would be 3 times less than time taken by one man i.e. 240/3=80 min.

#of people = 4

time taken for 4 ppl = 1hr / 60mins  

# of people = 3

time taken = 1/x

4 - 1/60

3 - 1/x

cross multiply

x=60/3*4

x=80
