You can put this solution on YOUR website! If 8 men take 9 days, then 1/4
of the number of men will take
4 times as long, so
----------------------------------
2 men take 36 days to lay out the garden
-----------------------------------------
3 times as many men can do this job in
1/3 of the time, so
----------------------
6 men take 12 days to lay out the garden
