Question

It takes two men six hours to paint a fence. How long would it take three men to paint the same fence?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If 2 men take 6 hrs to paint the fence, then

  3 men would  obviously take  less time to paint the same fence;

            2 men= 6 hrs

            3 men= ?

thus, the time taken by three men to paint the same fence=2/3 ×6 hrs

                                                                                                = 4 hrs
