if it took 4 men two days to dig a hole, how long will it take 2 men to dig half a hole?

Answer 1

what's half a hole?

Answer 2

2

Answer 3

4 men 2 days to dig a whole is the same as saying it will take 2 men 4 days to dig a whole.

So if it takes 2 men 4 days to dig a whole this means that it will take 2 men 2 days to dig 1/2 a whole. Your answer is 2 days.

Answer 4

2 days, because
it takes 4 men 2 days to dig it,
so it would take 2 men 4 days to do it
or 2 days for only half of the hole

Answer 5

2 days because it would have taken them 4 days to dig a whole hole.

Answer 6

It would take 2 men 2 days to dig a hole half the size of the 1st one.

4men = 1hole / 2days.
2men = 1/2hole / 2days, only half the work force, only half the work done.

(of course,a hole thats hals as deep as the 1st one is still a hole, and not only half of a hole)

Answer 7

Not too long if they throw the other two men in first and bury them under the other half of the hole

Answer 8

Firstly, hole is a hole, no matter how deep it is.

Secondly, there are a number of variable to consider even of the hole was the same depth.

1. The equipment used ie. shovel vs. bulldozer
2. The people doing the digging ie. lazy or not so lazy
3. The composition of the ground ie. sand or clay

I think you get my point.

Answer 9

You cant dig half a hole!! A hole is a hole!!

Answer 10

Are they the same two men who dug a hole , then back filled it and ended up with half a hole. they are outside now looking into it.

Answer 11

you won't be able to dig a a million/2 of a hollow and how do you get a a million/2 guy? nicely to respond to your question, if 2 adult males dug a hollow & a million/2 then it may basically take 3/4 day because of the fact it does not be basically sometime because of the fact the paintings is dispensed between 2 adult males, somewhat of a million and a million/2 adult males.
