The **number **of trees that 20 men chop **down **in one day will be 70.
What are ratio and proportion?
A **ratio **is a group of sequentially ordered numbers a and b expressed as a/b, where b is never equal to zero . When two objects are equal, a statement is said to be proportional .
If 8 men can chop down 28 **trees **in one day.
Let 'x' be the **number **of trees.
We know that the **ratio **of man and tree will remain constant . Then the equation is given as,
28 / 8 = 20 / x
**Simplify **the equation, then we have

8 / 28 = 20 / x
x = 20 (28 / 8)
x = 70
The **number **of trees that 20 men chop **down **in one day will be 70.

20 men can chop down 70 trees in one day. This is calculated by finding the rate at which one man works and then multiplying by the number of men. Each man chops down 3.5 trees per day, so 20 men together can handle 70 trees.
