Answer:
8 days
Explanation:
There are more than one way to do this:
Here's one way:
The least common multiple of 4 people and 3 people is 12 people.
12 people is 3 times as many people as 4 people, and
12 people is 4 times as many as 3 people.
Since 4 people take 6 days, 3 times as many people take only
one-third as long, or only 2 days. (since 2 is one-third of 6)
Since 3 people is only one-fourth as many people as 12, it will take
them 4 times as long as it would take 12 people, or 8 days. (since
4 times 2 is 8).
Answer: 8 days
---------
Since 4 people take 6 days, their combined rate is 1/6 of a job per day.
So one person's rate is 1/4 of that rate or 1/4 of 1/6 of a job per day,
or 1/24 of a job per day. Then 3 people's rate will be 3 time 1/24 of a
job per day, or 3/24 of a job per day. And 3/24 reduces to 1/8 of a
job per day, so it will take them 8 days to complete the job.
