RT=J relates rate, time, job or task.

Each person takes bricks at the same rate as any other person.

Let r be rate for one person;
let j be the unknown amount of bricks;
system%283r%2A3=3000%2C6r%2A6=j%29

r=3000%2F%283%2A3%29
-
j=6%2A6%2Ar
j=6%2A6%2A%283000%2F%283%2A3%29%29
highlight%28j=12000%29, this many bricks.
