If 5 people take 6 hours to do a job how long will it take 2 people to do the same job how do you work this out?

It will take 2 people 900 minutes or 15 hours to do the job. First you have to find how long it takes 1 person to do a job, then once you have found that, you divide that number by 2 since there are 2 people. 6 hours x 60 minutes in an hour = 360 minutes for 5 people 360 minutes x 5 people = 1800 minutes per person 1800 minutes per person / 2 people working = 900 minutes for them to finish the job.

If 2 people take 6 hours to do a job how long will it take 1 people to do the same job how do you work this out?
Assuming the same rate of speed, if it takes 2 people 6 hours to do a job, it will take 1 person 12 hours to do the same job. In each case, the number of work hours (2 x 6, 1 x 12) is the same.
