4 mat-weavers can weave 4 mats in 4 days. At the same rate, how many mats would be woven by 8 mat-weavers in 8 days?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let the required number of bottles be x.
More weavers, More mats (Direct Proportion)
More days, More mats (Direct Proportion)
| Wavers | 4 | : | 8 |  |
:: 4 : x |
| Days | 4 | : | 8 |
4 x 4 x x = 8 x 8 x 4
 x = |
(8 x 8 x 4) |
| (4 x 4) |
x = 16.

4 4 4
8 x 8.if ..
x = 8*8*4/4*4
= 16
see...if no. of mats inc. then no. days also inc.(DIRECT)
and if no. of people inc. then no. of days also inc.(DIRECT)
4 4 4
8 x 8.if ..
x = 8*8*4/4*4
= 16
see...if no. of mats inc. then no. days also inc.(DIRECT)
and if no. of people inc. then no. of days also inc.(DIRECT)

4 mate weavers 4 days 4 mate. Which simply tells us that 4 mate weavers can make 1 mate/day. If mate weavers are 8 then 2 mates per day. So for 8 days 16 mats.

@All.
If A can complete a mat in 4 days.
his 1 day of work is 1/4 so he completes 1/4 of mat in one day.
1/4 +1/4+1/4 +1/4 =1 mat.
If A can complete a mat in 4 days.
his 1 day of work is 1/4 so he completes 1/4 of mat in one day.
1/4 +1/4+1/4 +1/4 =1 mat.

If 4 are weaving 4 mats in 4 days means 1 mat by 1 person then why not 8 men are weaving 8 mats in 8 days.
