Question 1033952
RT=W relates work rate, time, and amount of work.  The basic situation needs an adjustment as nRT=W and the rate for n workers each acting together at rate R is nR.


<i>3 workers can finish painting a house in  2 days</i>
means {{{3r*2=1}}}.  The rate for 1 worker is r.  One job to be done is "paint 1 house".



<i>how many days will it take 6 workers to paint 5 of those (identical) house if they work at the same speed?</i>
Let t be the unknown number of day.
{{{6r*t=5}}}



I stop here and you should use the information developed to solve the problem all the way through.
