It took 20,000 workers to build the Taj Mahal in 20 years. How many workers would be required to build it in 10 years?

40,000 workers

Step-by-step explanation:

This question deals with simple rates proportion.

If it takes 20 years for X workers to complete a job,

if we double the amount of workers, we will take half the time.

hence to halve the time from 20 years to 10 years, we will need to double the amount of workers.

In this case we will need 20,000 workers x 2 = 40,000 workers

Answer: 40,000

Step-by-step explanation:

(20:10) * 20,000
