Men needed to finish the same work in fewer days

9 men
💡 What it's asking: The amount of work stays the same. Fewer days means you need more men, so count the work in 'man-days' first.
- Work out the total work: 6 men × 3 days = 18 man-days.
- The same 18 man-days must now fit into 2 days.
- Men needed = 18 ÷ 2 = 9 men.
✅ 9 men × 2 days = 18 man-days, the same work as before.

කාර්යය එකමයි. දින ගණන අඩු වන විට මිනිසුන් වැඩි දෙනෙක් අවශ්යයි. ඒ නිසා මුලින්ම කාර්යය 'මිනිස් දින' වලින් ගණන් කරන්න.
- මුළු කාර්යය: මිනිසුන් 6 × දින 3 = මිනිස් දින 18.
- එම මිනිස් දින 18 දැන් දින 2 ක් තුළ නිම කළ යුතුයි.
- අවශ්ය මිනිසුන් = 18 ÷ 2 = 9 දෙනෙක්.

x = 6
💡 What it's asking: This is an equation with x in the denominators. Join the two fractions on the left into one, then cross-multiply.
- Find a common denominator for 2x and 4x: it is 4x.
- Change 1/(2x) to 2/(4x) by multiplying top and bottom by 2.
- Add: 2/(4x) + 1/(4x) = 3/(4x), so 3/(4x) = 1/8.
- Cross-multiply: 4x × 1 = 3 × 8, so 4x = 24.
- Divide by 4: x = 6.
✅ Put x = 6 back: 1/12 + 1/24 = 2/24 + 1/24 = 3/24 = 1/8. It works.

හරයේ x ඇති සමීකරණයකි. වම් පැත්තේ භාග දෙක එක භාගයක් කර, හරස් ගුණ කරන්න.
- 2x සහ 4x සඳහා පොදු හරය සොයන්න: එය 4x යි.
- 1/(2x) හි ලවය හා හරය 2 න් ගුණ කර 2/(4x) ලෙස ලියන්න.
- එකතු කරන්න: 2/(4x) + 1/(4x) = 3/(4x); එබැවින් 3/(4x) = 1/8.
- හරස් ගුණ කරන්න: 4x × 1 = 3 × 8, එනම් 4x = 24.
- 4 න් බෙදන්න: x = 6.
