In each month 13 builders make 1/6 of the house
10 builders is 10/13 of that or 10/78 of a house every month.
It will take them 78/10 months or 7.8 months.

This is a problem in inverse variation, i.e., a relationship between two variables such that an increase in one causes a corresponding decrease in the other, or a decrease in one causes a corresponding increase in the other.

n1/n2 = d2/d1=
13/10 = x/6 Cross multiply:
