Question

Mr datu has enough money to pay 8 workers for 15 days if he adds 4 more workers for how long can he pay at the same rate?

Answer 1

10 days

Explanation:

Mr Datu can pay 8 workers for 15 days,

Then at the same rate he can pay 1 worker for the number of days = 15×8

= 120

If he adds number of workers = 4

Then total number of workers = 8 + 4 = 12

With the same rate Mr Datu can pay 12 workers for number of days =
`(120)/(12)`

= 10 days

Therefore, Mr Datu can pay 12 workers for 10 days a the same rate.
