You can put this solution on YOUR website! 5 men can complete a job in 4 days
-------------
Twice as many men can do the same
job in half the time, so
-------------
10 men can do the job in 2 days
working at the same rate
-------------
Working at 1/4 of that rate, the
10 men take 4 times as long, so
-------------
10 men do the job in 8 days
