It takes 8 men to take 18 chairs in 9 days. How many men can make 27 chairs in 6 days.
Answer: 18 men
Explanation
8 men make 18 chairs in 9 days.
First, find out how much work 1 man does in 1 day:
8 men × 9 days = 72 man-days for 18 chairs.
Now, for 27 chairs in 6 days:
Let the number of men be x.
x men × 6 days = 6x man-days.
Compare the two situations:
18 chairs / 72 man-days = 27 chairs / 6x man-days
18 × 6x = 27 × 72
108x = 1944
x = 18
