Question

If 6 people take 8 days to pick the lemons from a tree, how many days will it take 3

people to do the same job?

Answer 1

4 days

Explanation:

It's ratios. So for the first situation the ratio is 6 people: 8 days.

Now we have 3 people. To get from 6 people to 3 people, we divided by 2. So now we have to do the same to the right hand side and divide the 8 days by 2 to get 4 days.
