12 painters paint 4 rooms in 6 days
--------------------------------
It will take 3 times as many painters to
paint 3 times as many rooms in the same time
-----------------------------------------
36 painters paint 12 rooms in 6 days
----------------------------------
In 1/2 that time, it will take twice as many
painters to paint the same number of rooms
---------------------------------------
72 painters paint 12 rooms in 3 days
( you meant 3 days, not 3 hours, right? )
