Suppose that three people have to do this job. If all people work at the same rate, how long will it take three people to varnish the deck?
:
We can do this using the man-hour method
Change 3 hr 14 min = 3.23 hrs
4 * 3.23 = 12.933 man hrs to complete the job
:
Let t = no. of hrs for 3 men to do the job
3t = 12.933
t = 4.31 hrs which is 4 + .31(60) = 4 hrs 18.67 min for 3 men to do it
