You can put this solution on YOUR website! If a man and a half can eat a cake and a half in a minute and a half,
That's one man, one cake in 1.5 min, that's 1.5man-minutes per cake

allowing the same situation, how many men would it take to eat 60 cakes in 30 minutes?
60 * 1.5 = 90 man-minutes required

30m = 90
m = 90/30
m = 3 men,
