The first situation is like 30 men perform the 1 harvest job in 6*8=48 hours.
This means, 1 man does the job in 30*48=1440 hours. This one-man rate is job per hour.

50 men?
The one-man rate multiplied by 50, since each man's rate is added.
Let h = how many hours;

hours
At 6 hours per day, this would be days.
This really means, 4 days at 6 hours per day, plus more hours;
4 days at 6 hours per day plus another 4 hours & 48 minutes; although something more approximate may be more sensible.
'
You could also say, 4 days and (4/5) of a day, based on 6 hours per day.
