Question

In a factory, 7 men can make 20 bicycles in 5 days. How many bicycles can be made by 4 men in 14 days?

Answer 1

32

given 7 men make 20 bicycles in 5days, then number made per day by 7 men

=
`(20)/(5)` = 4 bicycles per day by 7 men

using direct proportion

7 men → 4

4 men → 4 ×
`(4)/(7)` =
`(16)/(7)` bicycles per day

in 14 days = 14 ×
`(16)/(7)` = 32
