Question

If 3 workers collect 48 kg of cotton in 4 days, how many kg of cotton will 9 workers collect in 2 days

Answer 1

If 3 workers can gather 48 kg of cotton in 4 days, then 9 workers can collect 72 kg of cotton in 2 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can find out how much cotton one worker collects in one day. Given that 3 workers collect 48 kg of cotton in 4 days, one worker will collect 48/3 = 16 kg of cotton in 4 days. Hence, in one day, a worker will collect 16/4 = 4 kg of cotton.

Now, if we have 9 workers collecting cotton for 2 days, they will collectively gather 9 workers * 4 kg of cotton/worker/day * 2 days = 72 kg of cotton.
