    We Solve This Question For This Method
    6m+5w=6days-------------(1)
    3m+4w=10 days-------------(2)
    Equ(1) and Equ(2)
    36m+30w
    30m+40w
    6m+10w or 10/6 or 5:3
    so m=5 and w=3
    put this value on equ (2)
    3*5+4*3=10 or 27*10 or 270 totla work
    so 9m+15w=?
    9*5+15*3 or 45+45 or 90
    total work/9men+15 woman
    270/90=3 days.
