Since we are given no information to the contrary, the following discussion assumes that all men are created equal, and every worker accomplishes the same amount of work in the same amount of time. Since 8 workers can build a cabin in 60 hours, the job comprises (8 man) times (60 hours) = 480 man-hours of labor. That doesn't change. Now however, 480 man-hours of labor must be completed in 32 hours. The number of workers required to accomplish this is (480 man-hours) divided by (32 hours) = 15 man.
