A company has got the work of unloading goods from a ship in 10 days. 280 heads of people have been employed for this purpose After 3 days it is seen that
th of the work has been completed. Let’s work out using the method of the Rule of Three how many heads of people are to be engaged to complete the work in time.
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 a
b
c
then ![]()
(b)inverse proportions rule of 3:-
if a
b
c
then ![]()
formula:- (i)direct method----![]()
(ii)indirect or inverse proportions xy=k
![]()
given:-
method used is called indirect or inverse proportions method

w1=w,
,
p1=?,p2=280,d1=10,d2=3
![]()

![]()
![]()
p1=336
