If 80 men dug 4 holes in 12 months, how many men would be required to build 6 houses in months?

Explanation

1/240 * n * 4 = 6 becomes:

1/240 * 360 * 4 = 6

we simplify to get:

6 = 6 confirming that our calculation of the number of people required is good.

the answer is that it would require 360 men to fill 6 holes in 4 months.
