Five workers paint four houses in six days.

Working at the same rate as

these workers, how many workers are needed to paint 12 houses in
three days?

Five workers paint four houses in six days

So those five workers will paint two houses (half as many) in three days (half the time)

Within that time scale (three days) we need to paint 12 houses (ie six times as many) so
we need six times as many workers
So the number of workers required is 5 X 6 = 30.
Thirty workers are required.

Five workers paint four houses in six days. Working at the same rate as these
workers, how many workers are needed to paint 12 houses in three days?
:
Use Man-days (no.of men * no. of days)
:
Let x = the no. of man-days required to paint 1 house
:

x=

x=
x = 7.5 man-days per house
:
"how many workers are needed to paint 12 houses in three days?"
Let w = no. of workers
3w = 12(7.5)
3w = 90

w=
w = 30 workers to paint 12 house in 3 days.
