it would have less value, because 10x1=10 but when you do something like half of one it is half the number that your multiplying it by example: 10x1/2=5 (one half of 10 is 5)

1 man would take 80 days to complete the work, so 1 man in 1 day would complete 1/80 of the work. 1 child would take 160 days to complete the work, so 1 child in one day would complete 1/160 of the work. In 1 day, 5 men and 10 children could do 5/80 + 10/160 = 1/16 +1/16 = 1/8 of the work. It would take them 8 days to do the job.

Firstly you have to work out how long it would take one person to do the task. You know that 1 person would take longer to do something than say 4. So you multiply it. More people will take less time to do something. So you divide the total of 1 persons work between them. Dont worry if it turns out as a decimal. Hope I could help
You need to be very clear to distinguish between earn and make. People is some jobs can make 1 million pounds in a year or less but that does not mean they earn it!
