Well as we can see it states

t takes 5 hours for 7 bricklayers to build a park well.

So multiply the 5 hours it takes by the 7 brick layers

$$5\times7=35$$

Divide 35 by (how long will it take 10 bricklayers to complete job)

$$35\div10=3.5$$

So it will take (3.5) hours for 10 bricklayers to complete the job.

the time required to do the job varies inversely as the number of people working.

time required note a ,,t"
number of people working note ,,n"

the t varies inversely as n so this is : $$t = \frac{ k }{ n }$$

it takes 5 hours for 7 bricklayers to build a park so this will write it in this form

$$5 = \frac{ k }{ 7 }$$

do you can continue it now ?
