5 workers can do 3 jobs in 2 days.
----------------------------------
It will take 3 times as many workers to do
3 times as many jobs in the same time, so
15 workers can do 9 jobs in 2 days
------------------------------
In 5 times as many days, it will only take 1/5
as many workers to do the same number of jobs, so
3 workers can do 9 jobs in 10 days
-------------------------------
It will take twice as many workers to do twice as
many jobs in the same time, so
6 workers can do 18 jobs in 10 days
