To find out how many people are needed to dig the ditch in 12 days, we first calculate the total work needed in terms of person-days. The total work is 7 people × 8 days = 56 person-days. If the ditch needs to be dug in 12 days, we divide the total work by the number of days: 56 person-days ÷ 12 days = approximately 4.67 people. Since you can't have a fraction of a person, you would need at least 5 people to complete the work in 12 days.
To find out how many people it would take to dig the ditch in half a day, we first calculate the total amount of work in "person-days." If 7 people can complete the work in 8 days, that amounts to 7 people × 8 days = 56 person-days. To complete the work in half a day, you would need 56 person-days ÷ 0.5 days = 112 people. Therefore, it would take 112 people to dig the ditch in half a day.
If 7 people can dig a ditch in 8 days, that means the total work required is 7 people × 8 days = 56 person-days. To determine how many people are needed to complete the task in half a day (0.5 days), you would divide the total person-days by 0.5 days: 56 person-days ÷ 0.5 days = 112 people. Therefore, it would take 112 people to dig the ditch in half a day.
Actually it takes 21 days. Each chicken takes 21 days to lay an egg, so it takes 21 chickens to get 21 eggs. It also takes 14 chickens to lay 14 eggs in 21 days. Reasoning (mistakenly) that if it takes 21 hens 21 days to lay 21 eggs then it must take 14 hens 14 days to lay 14 eggs, eventually leads to 1 hen laying 1 egg in 1 day. If that were the case, then it would only take that 1 hen to lay 21 eggs in 21 days--but we know it takes 21 hens to lay that amount in 21 days.
Today, July 13, 2012 you would be 5479 days old. This takes into account that you have lived through 4 leap year days.
In 2013, someone born in 1999 would turn 14, and on their birthday would be 5114 days old. (365 days x 14 and four leap days for 2000, 2004, 2008, and 2012) In 2014, on their birthday they are 5479 days old. In 2015, on their birthday they are 5844 days old In 2016, people born before March 1 would be 6209 days old on their birthday, while people born on or after March 1 would be 6210 days old (picking up the leap day on February 29).
112 people are needed
Each person averages 1/56th of a ditch (0.01786) per day. *It would take 112 people to complete the ditch in half a day.*

Therefore, it would take 112 people to dig the ditch in half a day.
Assuming the linear relationship holds true, it would take 4.67 people to dig the ditch. Since there is no such thing as 0.67 of a person, the answer should be 5 people.
Like living in a dirt ditch filled with 12 inches of muddy water for 30 days...without ever leaving the ditch, for those 30 days; unless of course, moving (advancing) to another dirt ditch (trench).

To orbit the sun, it would take Earth 365 days. Mars takes 685 days and Venus takes 225 days. Mercury takes 88 earth days and Jupiter takes 12 earth years. Neptune takes 165 years and Saturn takes 29 Years. Uranus takes84 Years.
If you do a experiment you can find out which is what i did if you leave it inside on a plate it takes 3 or 4 days outside it takes about 2 days
