If 18 bindres bind 900 books in 10 days , How many binders will be required to bind 660 books in 12 days?

Let the required no of binders be X.


Less books , Less binders       (Direct Proportion)


More days, Less binders         (Indirect proportion)


 


  B o o k s 900 : 660 D a y s 12   :   10   18 : x
