Given:

108 workers can build a wall in 36 days.

We need to find how many days 48 workers will take to build the same wall.

Formula Used:

Number of workers × Number of days = Constant work

Calculation:

Let the number of days required for 48 workers to build the wall be x .

According to the formula:

108 workers × 36 days = 48 workers × x days

⇒ 108 × 36 = 48 × x

⇒ x = (108 × 36) / 48

⇒ x = 3888 / 48

⇒ x = 81

The number of days 48 workers will take to build the same wall is 81 days.
