Uniform rates for job or task completion, RT=J; rate time job.
Let r = one-person work rate, JOBS per HOUR.

2r%2A2=50
r=50%2F4
highlight_green%28r=25%2F2%29, now the one-person rate is known.

If n=6 (how many people work together), time is 5 hours, how many jars done?
n%2Ar%2At=j
6%2A%2825%2F2%29%2A5=j
j=75%2A5
highlight%28j=375%2Ajars%29
