<PRE><B>Question 867635</B>
Call &quot; clear a portion of grass on a land &quot; 1 job
So, 5 people do 1 job in 12 hrs
---------------------------------
1/5 as many people will take 5 times as long
to do the same job
---------------------------------------------
So, 1 person does 1 job in 60 hrs
----------------------------------
8 times that number of people can do the same
job in 1/8 of that time
-------------------------
So, 8 people can do 1 job in 60/8 hrs
{{{ 60/8 = 7.5 }}}
8 people can do the job in 7.5 hrs
