1. Given

   we have given 16 men can do a piece of work in 14 days .

   To Find

   we have to find the days will 7 men take to complete the same work

   [tex]\sf\huge {\underline{\underline{{Solution}}}}[/tex]

   16 men complete one job in 14 days

   then 16 m = 1/14

   Now how fast 7 men can do ?

   7m= ?

   Divide the whole Equation by 7/16

   we divide by 7/16 so 16 would be cancel and we obtain 7 on the left side.

   => 7/16 *16m = 1/14*7/16

   => 7m= 7/( 14*16)

   => 7m= 7/(7*2*16)

   seven cancels out on right side

   => 7m= 1/32

   It looks like seven men will get one job done in 32 days.
