if 18 persons can build a wall 140 m long in 42 days , the number of days that 30 persons will take to complete a similar wall 100 m long , is ?
"explanation : ( length 140 : 100 ) : ( persons 30 : 18 ) : : 42 : x 140 x 30 x x = 100 x 18 x 42 or x = 18 answer : b"
divide(multiply(multiply(18, 100), 42), multiply(140, 30))
