If 4 people can build 4 walls in 2 days,
how long will it take 16 people to build 24 walls?


Solution to the Problem:

3 Days

4 people can build 4 walls in 2 days (all working at the same time).
So 16 people can build 16 walls in 2 days.
So 16 people can build 8 walls in 1 day.
So 16 people can build 24 walls in 3 days (combining the previous 2 statements).
