If 12 men work 8 hours a day to complete a work in 10 days, how many men working 12 hours a day can complete the work in 5 days?
Answer: 16
Explanation
To solve this problem, calculate the total hours worked by the men:
12 men × 8 hours/day × 10 days = 960 hours
Now, find the number of men needed to complete the work in 5 days, working 12 hours a day:
Let x be the number of men.
x men × 12 hours/day × 5 days = 960 hours
x × 60 = 960
x = 16
