You can put this solution on YOUR website! Account for the number of hours! The work needs the one man to do the task for a set number of hours.
8 hours per day times 30 days = the set number of hours hours.
Now the man works only 5 hours per day, so he still must work 240 total hours to do the job. using d for the number of days.
