Question 1059172: If 8 men can paint a school in 15 days, how many days would it take for 12 men to paint the same school , assuring that they work on the same rate. Answer by jorel555(1290) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If 8 men can paint one school in 15 days, then each man paints 1/8 x 1/15, or 1/120 of a school per day. 12 men working each day means 12/120ths of a school get done per day. It would take these men 120/12, or 10 days to finish the job. ☺☺☺☺
