4 mat-weavers can weave 4 mats in 4 days. At the same rate, how many mats would be woven by 8 mat-weavers in 8 days?

Correct Answer: 16

Explanation:

Let the required number of bottles be x.


 


More weavers, More mats (Direct Proportion)


 


More days, More mats (Direct Proportion)


 


 


w e a v e r s     4 : 8 }   : 4 : x d a y s                 4 : 8 } : 4 : x  


4 x 4 x x = 8 x 8 x 4


 


=> x =  8 * 8 * 4 4 * 4


 


=> x = 16.
