Question

A vehicular job is completed by 5 mechanics in 4 days. If only 3 mechanics are available, in how many days the work can be completed.

​

Answer 1

To complete the job with 5 mechanics in 4 days, we use the equation Number of mechanics x Number of days = Job done. By substituting the values given, we find that it would take approximately 6.67 days for 3 mechanics to complete the job.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use the equation:

Number of mechanics x Number of days = Job done

Given that 5 mechanics can complete the job in 4 days, we have:

5 mechanics x 4 days = 20 job done

Now, we can use this equation to find out how many days it would take for 3 mechanics to complete the job:

3 mechanics x Number of days = 20 job done

Solving for the number of days, we get:

Number of days = 20 job done / 3 mechanics

Number of days = 6.67 days

Therefore, it would take approximately 6.67 days for 3 mechanics to complete the job.
