theorem1:-


The Rule of Three is a Mathematical Rule that allows you to solve problems based on proportions. By having three numbers: a, b, c,


(a)Direct proportions rule of 3:-


if ab


c then


(b)inverse proportions rule of 3:-


if ab


c then


formula:- (i)direct method----


(ii)indirect or inverse proportions xy=k


given: -



method used is called indirect or inverse proportions method


work done=people x hour x day


=14x4x15=840


for same work done


840=people x hour x day


840=24x7xday


day=5
