d)20
e)24​

Answer 1

Answer:

20 men will paint the same wall in 3/4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information is:

5 men paint a wall in 3 hours

Let x be the number of men

It is also mentioned that the rate will be same with x men. So we have to put both the rates/proportions equivalent to find the number of men.

So,

$men * hours = men*hours\\5*3 = x*\frac{3}{4}\\15 = \frac{3}{4}x\\x = \frac{4}{3} * 15\\x = 20$

Hence,

20 men will paint the same wall in 3/4 hours.
