many men, working at the same uniform rate,
can finish it in 1 day?
10-A 2
10-B 3
10-C 12
10-D 14

Answer 1

10-C 12

Step-by-step explanation:
If 6 men can paint a fence in 2 days, then the total work required to paint the fence is 6 x 2 = 12 man-days.

To complete the work in 1 day, the total number of men required can be found by dividing the total work by the number of days: 12 man-days / 1 day = 12 men.

Therefore, 12 men can finish painting the fence in 1 day at the same uniform rate.

Answer 2

C: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

If it takes 6 PEOPLE to paint the fence in 2 days, it would take twice as many people to make the time it takes 1 day because it is half the time. It would take 12 PEOPLE to paint the fence in 1 day.
