You can put this solution on YOUR website!
There are 60 minutes in each hour so you have a total of 420 minutes.
Each person could complete 420%2F45=9.3 tasks in the 7 hours.
Rounding down makes it 9 tasks.
So you need,
400%2F9=44.4 persons.
Rounding up to 45 persons will ensure that you complete the 400 tasks in less than 7 hours.
