Question

12 men can dig a hole in 8 days. How many men can dig it in 6 days ? ?

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} \text{ If 12 men dig a hole in 8 days} \\ \text{Then, 1 man can dig it in (12}*8)\text{ = 96days} \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} \text{If 1 man can dig it in 96days} \\ \text{Then, in 6 days, }(96)/(6)\text{ = 16 men can dig it.} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, 16 men can dig the same hole in 6 days.
