You can put this solution on YOUR website! 20 men take 30 days to do 1 job
----------------------------
3 times as many men can do the job
in 1/3 of that time, so
---------------------
60 men take 10 days to do 1 job
-----------------------------
1/5 as many men take 5 times longer
to do 1 job, so
--------------------------------
12 men take 50 days to do 1 job
