If 5 workers can collect 60 kg wheat in 3 days, how many kilograms of wheat will 8 workers collect in 5 days ?

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Let the required quantity be x kg.
More workers, More quantity (Direct proportion)
More days, More quantity (Direct proportion)
\[\left. \begin{gathered} {\text{Workers 5}}:8 \hfill \\ \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\text{Days 3}}:5 \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \right\}::60:x\]
$$\eqalign{ & \therefore {\text{ }}5 \times 3 \times x = 8 \times 5 \times 60 \cr & \Leftrightarrow x = \frac{{\left( {8 \times 5 \times 60} \right)}}{{\left( {5 \times 3} \right)}} \cr & \Leftrightarrow x = 160 \cr} $$
