Model 7: Men, Women and Children

04 Try it yourself Interactive

Two kinds of worker, one unit

Give the OR statement — how many men or how many women do the job in how many days — and then the mixed group you want to price. The console derives the exchange rate, sizes the job in woman-days, converts the group and divides. Change the equivalence and watch the exchange rate move.

3 men or 6 women in 7 days; 5 men + 4 women

1 man = 2 women · 3 days

The first three inputs are the OR statement. The last two are the group you are asking about, and either may be zero as long as the group is not empty.
