After 44 days, 1/3 of the factory is still to be built. The 119 men could finish the factory in another 22 days.

The number of man-days required to finish building the factory is then 119*22. If 35 more men are hired, then the number of men on the job will be 119+35 = 154; the number of days it will take to finish the job is then

ANSWER: It will take 17 more days to finish building the factory.
