If six witches can wind sixty watches in sixteen weeks, how many watches would sixty witches wind in six weeks?

Answer:

225............One witch can wind 10 watches in sixteen weeks. So one witch can wind 10/16 or 5/8 watches in one week. One witch could wind 6 x 5/8 or 30/8 watches in six weeks. Sixty witches could wind 60 x 30/8 or 225 watches in six weeks.
