Answer:
288 minutes.(4.8 hours)
Step-by-Step-Explanation:
3 people can build a shed in 8 hours, so how long would it take 1 person to?
3 / 3 = 1
8 * 3 = 24

It would take one person 24 hours to build the shed alone.
24 hours to minutes -
24 * 60 = 1440

If 5 people were to build a shed
(1440 minutes / 5 people -(1440/5= 288))

It would take 5 people 288 minutes (4.8 hours) to build a shed
