Five people can mow a lawn in 12 hours. How many more people are needed to mow the lawn in just 3 hours, assuming each person mows at the same rate?

thhe answer is 15

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Five can mow in 12 hours, so one can mow in 5*12=60 hours.To mow in 3 hours, you'll need 60/3=20 people, = 15 MORE people.
