Let r be rate for one man, and let t be the unknown time in the second part of the description, the time quantity asked for.
The second part uses a combination of 25 men and 22 men.
This is the system for the whole description in the form of equations. Use the first equation to get a value for r, and use this to solve for t in the second equation.
