The first situation is like 30 men perform the 1 harvest job in 6*8=48 hours.
\n" ); document.write( "This means, 1 man does the job in 30*48=1440 hours. This one-man rate is \"1%2F1440\" job per hour.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "50 men?
\n" ); document.write( "The one-man rate multiplied by 50, since each man's rate is added.
\n" ); document.write( "Let h = how many hours;
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2850%2F1440%29%2Ah=1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"h=1440%2F50=28.8\" hours
\n" ); document.write( "At 6 hours per day, this would be \"28.8%2F6=4.8\" days.
\n" ); document.write( "This really means, 4 days at 6 hours per day, plus \"%284%2F5%29%2A6\" more hours;
\n" ); document.write( "4 days at 6 hours per day plus another 4 hours & 48 minutes; although something more approximate may be more sensible.
\n" ); document.write( "'
\n" ); document.write( "You could also say, 4 days and (4/5) of a day, based on 6 hours per day.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
