Building 5 houses takes 12 x 75 ie 900 man-days. 20 men will thus take 900/20 ie 45 days.
Well, buckle up, buttercup. If 25 men can build a house in 18 days, that means it takes 25*18 = 450 man-days to build the house. Now, if you throw 15 men into the mix, you just need to divide those 450 man-days by 15 to find out how many days it will take them. So, 450 man-days divided by 15 men equals 30 days for those fellas to build that house.
1 7/8 days Matthew in one day can build 1/3 of the block. Andy in one day can build 1/5 of the block. Together in one day they can build 8/15 of the bolck. It means they need less than 1 day to build 7/15 of the block, which is 7/8 of the day. Thus, they need 1 day and 7/8 of the next day to build the block together.
1 wall = 5 men X 8 days = 40 man days 40 man days / 3 men = (40/3) days = 13 1/3 days
It takes 100 man-days, so three men would take 33 and a third days and 8 men 12½ days. Working together the 3 men and 8 men would take 100/11 or 9 and a ninth days

75 / 5 = 15 days for 12 men to build one house. 15x12 = 180 days for 1 man to build 1 house. 180 x 7 = 1260 days for 1 man to build 7 houses. 1260 / 20 = 61 days for 20 men to build 7 houses.
About 2 weeks
it take 2 days
This was a previous incorrect answer*DIVIDE BY 2! everything is in half. half the people half the houses then it stands to reason HALF THE DAYS!!!!! the answer is 60*.....Actually the correct answer is 120 days. You must analyze the relationship of people per house (10 people build 60 houses=6 houses per person over time span). To prove this just imagine if the question asked how long 1 person would take to build 6 houses. You would not simply divide by 10 to get 12 days.
