You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Use r as the one-worker rate in the unit GARDENS PER DAY.

Uniform Rate rule goes like RT=J for rate time job.

10r%2A3=1, a whole job.

Solve for t.
Do not be fooled! This equation uses unknown variable t on one side, and the factor r on both sides. You can solve for t and get a value.
