8 workers will complete the task in 3 days

Given that 6 workers can complete a task in 4 days, we want to know the number of workers that will complete the task in 3 days

Now, since 6 workers can complete the task in 4 days, 1 single worker will omplete the task in 6 * 4 days = 24 days

So if 1 worker can complete the task in 24 days, the number of workers that can complete the task in 3 days will be 24/3 = 8 workers
