Question 567449: 4 painters can paint a house in 3 days, at this rate, how many houses can 6 painters paint in 6 days?
Answer by josmiceli(19441)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If 4 painters can paint a house in 3 days, then
3 times as many painters can paint a house in
1/3 that time, so 12 painters can paint a house
in 1 day
------------
6 painters will take twice that time,
or 6 painters paint 1 house in 2 days
------------
In 6 days, the 6 painters can paint 3 times as many
houses, so in 6 days 6 painters can paint 3 houses
