7 (labors) x 18 (days) = 126 hours in total.
6 (labors) x 30 (days) = 180 hours in total.
Simplified Fraction: 126/180 --> 7/10
7 x 3 = 21
Therefore, they would need 21 labors to finish the same piece of work in 30 days.
Simply try this 30 7 18=30 6 x
Let x be the required number of laborers, then
x ⋅ 6 ⋅ 3 0 = 3 0 ⋅ 7 ⋅ 1 8
x = 2 1
30 * 7 * 18 = 3780
L * 6 * 30 = 3780
L = 3780/180 = 21 (Ans.)
suppose each worker does 1 joule of work each hour....... so the amount of work to be done to complete the job is ( 30 * 7 * 18) joules............ now if X laborers are employed for 6 hrs a day and the work is to be completed in 30 days ...... the work to be done will be ( 30 * 6 * X )
now equate .............. ( 30 * 7 * 18 = 30 * 6 * X ) ........... which gives x= 21.
let laborers be x :
30 laborers 7 hrs 18 days= 30
7
18 = 3780
......x laborers 6 hrs 30 days= x
6
30 = 3780.........
x=3780\180 =21.....................21
n 1 = 3 0 ⋅ 7 ⋅ 1 8 1 ⋅ 6 ⋅ 3 0 = 2 1 1

30 men 7 hrs need 18 days, 30 men 6 hrs will need 18x7/6=21 days , 1 man 6 hr will need 21x30 days, Therefore to finish the work in 30 days we need 21x30/30 men=21 men
