How you mean the rate is uncertain. The assumption made will be r is the one-man rate and that twice
\n" ); document.write( "the number of men would be used to make the group rate double.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The first part gives \"18r%2A35=6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"r=6%2F%2818%2A35%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"r=6%2F%283%2A6%2A35%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"r=1%2F%283%2A35%29\"------the one-man rate.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Using 2 men would give \"2r=2%2F%283%2A35%29\" as the TWO-man rate.
\n" ); document.write( "Question would be how many of two-men build 4 ships in 14 days?
\n" ); document.write( "n, how many of two-men,
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28n%2A%282%2F%283%2A35%29%29%2A14=4%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"n=4%283%2A35%29%2F%282%2A14%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"n=%284%2A3%2A5%2A7%29%2F%282%2A2%2A7%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"n=15\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This should be \"2%2A15=highlight%2830%2Amen%29\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The other interpretation from the beginning may be EACH man will work at DOUBLE his typical rate
\n" ); document.write( "so the one-man rate could be \"2%2F%283%2A35%29\", and then \"n=15\" would really be FIFTEEN men.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
