\"if they work at the same rate?\" What do you mean?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Try it this way.
\n" ); document.write( "Let r = the rate for ONE man, assuming each man works at this rate.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"10r%2A14=4r%2At\"$ , doing the one job and using the uniform rate idea, RT=J for rate time job. The factor used with the number r is for how many men are doing work, since the rate of any group is the sum of the individual rates, and all of them being r. $\"t\"$ is the time, unknown, in days for the group of four men.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Just solve for $\"t\"$ . \n" ); document.write( "
