If eight men can dig sixteen holes in thirty-two days, how long will it take four men to dig eight holes of the same size?
Explanations
Thirty-two days.In both parts of the rule there is 1:2 ratio between the number of men and the number of holes. One man can dig no more than two holes in 32 days. Four men only multiply that number to 8 (in accordance with the ratio), but in the same 32-day period.
