Answer:

Explanation:

12 men and 18 women: x1; 14 days; y1

8 men and 16 women: x2; ?; y2

12/18 simplified is equal to 2/3

8/16 simplified is equal to 1/2

This is a direct proportion, thus we can say that:

(1/2*14)/(2/3)=y2

7/(2/3)=10.5 days

I hope this helped you get out of homework trouble :D
