five men can repair a stretch of road in 8 hrs. how many men would be needed to repair the same road in 3 1/3 hrs
also tell if its direct or inverse proportion
i just wanna check my answer, whether its correct or not

Respuesta :

Answer: 12 men would be needed to repair the same road in 3 1/3 hrs. Inverse proportion because usually in work,food and time its inversly proportional.

8 hours --> 5 men

1 hour --> 5*8 = 40 men

3 1/3 hours --> 40/ (3 1/3) men

                  --> 12 men
