You can put this solution on YOUR website! If it takes 4 men 20 days to build a house how long would it take 6 men to build the house?
---
time and # of men are inversely related:
t = k/m
---
Solve for "k" using "it takes 4 men 20 days to build a house"
20 = k/4
k = 80
------------------
Equation:
t = 80/m
----------------
How long would it take 6 men to build the house?
t = 80/6
t = 13 1/3 days
