12 people working together can count a box of votes in 4 hours. how long will it take 30 people to count 10 boxes of votes?
12 people can count 1/4 box in one hour
So 1 person can count 1/ 4 * 1/12 = 1/48 box in 1 hr
So
30 people can count 30 * (1/48) = 30/48 = 5/8 of a box in 1 hour
30 / (5/8) = 48 hrs
