If 5 men can collect 60 kg wheat in 3 days, how many Kg of wheat will 8 men collect in 5 days?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
If 5 men can collect 60 kg wheat in 3 days, how many Kg of wheat will 8 men collect in 5 days?
We know that, 5 men can collect 60 kg in 3 days:
5 men x 3 days = 60 kg
Converting the above equation to 8 men in 5 days
5 men x \(\frac{8 }{5}\) men x 3 days x \(\frac{ 5}{ 3}\) days = 60 kg x \(\frac{8 }{5 }\) x \(\frac{ 5}{ 3}\)
8 men x 5 days = 60 kg x \(\frac{ 8}{ 3}\)
8 men x 5 days = 20 kg x 8
8 men x 5 days = 160 kg
