Question 527717: SOPPOSE 4 PEOPLE CAN PAINT A HOUSE IF THEY WORKK 3 DAYS EACH. HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE OF A CREW OF 5 PEOPLE TO PAINT THE HOUSE ? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! I assume all these people work at the same rate
4 people working 3 days can paint 1 house
1 person takes 4 times as long to paint the house, so
1 person takes 12 days to paint the house
5 people will take 1/5 of that time to paint the house
5 people will take 12/5 days, or 2.4 days to paint the house
