If 8 men can cut a number of trees in 24 days by working 6 hours a day, for how many hours a day would 3 men have to work in order to cut thrice the number of trees in 48 days?
Explanation:
Let 8 men can cut 'x' number of trees in 24 days working 6 hours a day, while 3 men can cut '3x' number of trees in 48 days working 'h' hours per day.
∴ M1H1D1W1 = M2H2D2W2
⇒ 8×6×24x = 3×h×483x
⇒ h = 8×6×24×33×48 = 24
Hence, 24.
