<PRE><B>Question 736649</B>
(1)
5 people can peel 8 baskets of apples in 3 hours
In 1/3 that time, it will take 3 times as many people
to peel the same number of baskets, so
15 people can peel 8 baskets of apples in 1 hour
---------------------
More people reduces the hours it takes and
More baskets increases the hours it takes
{{{ ( 15/t )*( w/8 ) = 15w / 8t }}}
 t persons can peel w baskets in 15w/8t hours
-----------------------
(2)
 t persons can peel ? baskets in z hours
5 people can peel 8 baskets of apples in 3 hours
To peel {{{ 1/8 }}} that number of baskets, 
5 people can peel 1 basket of apples in {{{ 3/8 }}} hours
------------------------
More people  increases the number of baskets peeled
More hours increases the number of baskets peeled
t persons can peel {{{ ( t/5 )*( z / (3/8) ) }}} baskets in z hours
t persons can peel {{{  8t*z / 3*5 = 8t*z / 15 }}} baskets in z hours
Hope I got it
