It takes 5 men to paint 2 identical houses in 3 days. Assuming that all men work at the same rate, how long will it take 10 men to paint 8 of these houses?

----

time is directly related to # of houses and indirectly related to # of men

-----

t = k*h/m

-----------

Solve for "k" using "it takes 5 men to paint 2 houses in 3 days".

3 = k*2/5

k = 15/2 = 7.5

--------

Equation:

t = 7.5*h/m

----

how long will it take 10 men to paint 8 of these houses?

time = 7.5*8/10

----

time = 6 days
