Hey , in a lot of these rate , work and time questions I've seen a formula approach
\(w/x*y = w1/x1*y1\)
while, I do get the correct answers with this method but is this a reliable approach or should I learn something fundamental about these question type which I am not getting at all.

The standard formula for Rate, work, and time questions is, Rate * Time = Work, at different points while solving the problem it is written in a different way, for eg. Rate = Work / Time or Time = Work / Rate

Here's are links to some good resources you could go through - 1.Work word problems made easy 2.Work-Rate Problems All in One Topic

Hope it helps.
