The one job using 6 men is done in 6%2Adays%2A6%2A%28hours%2Fday%29=36 hours. One man would do this job in 1%2F%2836%2A6%29 jobs per hour rate. This one-man rate is 1%2F6%5E3 jobs per hour.

Three Men group:
How many hours?
3%281%2F6%5E3%29%2At=1, t is time in hours.
t=6%5E3%2F3 hours.
How many days, if 1 day = 2 hours?
t%281%2Aday%2F%282%2Ahour%29%29=%286%5E3%2F3%29%281%2F2%29 DAYS
