How you mean the rate is uncertain. The assumption made will be r is the one-man rate and that twice
the number of men would be used to make the group rate double.

The first part gives

------the one-man rate.

Using 2 men would give as the TWO-man rate.
Question would be how many of two-men build 4 ships in 14 days?
n, how many of two-men,

This should be .

The other interpretation from the beginning may be EACH man will work at DOUBLE his typical rate
so the one-man rate could be , and then would really be FIFTEEN men.
