I hate this type of problem ....
If it takes 10 people 12 hours to do a certain job, how many hours would it take 6 people, working at the same rate, to do 1/4 of the same job?
A. 6 hours
B. 5 hours
C. 4.5 hours
D. 4 hours
E. 3.75 hours
Can YOU do it?

LOL ....
I didn't want to spoil the fun for the 'others' who might look at the posts first.
MCCXXVIII minus MCCXXIII.... :)
I can do it too
Geez not only do I have to know math but I have to decipher Roman Numerals too!
I HATED THOSE PROBLEMS BACK IN THE
30'S WHEN I HAD TO DO THEM. I WILL
NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THEM YET.
MY COMPU WENT 23498776554 SO I
DIDN'T GET TO ANSWER UP. DID I MISS
SOMETHING GOOD???????
YESTERDAY
Doesn't it depend on what gender or ethnicity, or religion they are? Oh...this is a REAL question and not a joke!
Yes. 10 People * 12 Hours = 120 People*hours. 120 people*hours/6 people = 20 hours. 20 hours * 1/4 =
20 hours /4 = 5 hours
It would take 6 people doing the same rate of work 5 hours to complete 1/4 of the job.
But wait, are the 6 people in the IT department? IF so, all bets are off because we will have to draw up a requirements document, design a process workflow, get a minimum 3 bids on our 'request for proposal', invite the top 3 vendors out to do demonstrations in front of 200 employees who will never login to the system anyway, and then pick the vendor..... once this is done, I need a 'none' of the above!
I love my job.
Alright ... you guys are having a bit too much fun with my humble math question ...
Sadly ... Pat's final answer here is the right one ...
LOL ...
