A man completes 5⁄8 of a job in 10 days. At this rate, how many more days will it takes him to finish the job?

Correct Answer: 6

Explanation:

Work done = 5
8



Balance work = 1 - 5 = 3
8 8


Let the required number of days be x.



Then, 5 : 3 = :: 10 : x   ⟺   5 x x = 3 x 10
8 8 8 8



x = 3 x 10 x 8
8 5


x = 6.
