It takes 6 days for 6 workers to complete the task
It would take 1 of the workers 6 times as long to do the task, so
It takes 36 days for 1 worker to complete the task
-----------------------
4 times as many workers could do the task in 1/4 the time, so
It takes 9 days for 4 workers to complete the task
