If four men working at the same rate can do 2/3 of a job in 40 minutes,
\n" ); document.write( "then the number of minutes (m)to complete the job is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2F3\"m = 40
\n" ); document.write( "2m = 3 * 40
\n" ); document.write( "2m = 120
\n" ); document.write( "m = 60 min for four men to do the job
\n" ); document.write( "therefore
\n" ); document.write( "4 * 60 = 240 man-minutes to do the job
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " how many minutes would it take one man working at this rate to do 2/5 of the job?
\n" ); document.write( "1m = \"2%2F5\"*240
\n" ); document.write( "1m = 96 minutes for 1 man to do 2/5 of the job
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
