Respuesta :

Answer:

it took the remaining two builders five days to finish

It takes 38 days to build the house for the remaining workers. Since it is said that the total working days for building a house with 8 workers is 20 and 6 workers left after 14 days and each worker is working at the same rate.

Given data:

8 builders can finish a house in 20 days

Each builder works at the same rate

After 14 days 6 builders left.

Calculating the required days:

When 6 builders left after 14 days, 2 builders have remained

Then, we can write

1 builder can finish the work that these 6 builders did in those 14 days is

6×14=84 days

Since it takes 20 days for 8 builders to finish a house, then for 1 builder it takes

1 builder = 20×8=160 days

Then the remaining left for 1 builder to finish the house is 160-84=76 days

Then the remaining 2 builders will build the house in 76/2 days

That is 38 days.

Therefore, the remaining builders build the house in 38 days at the same rate.
