skeeter said:Ever heard the term "man-hours" to complete a job? This is very similar in units, except it's "people-days" ...
1 house decorated by 10 people in 6 days means it takes 60 people-days (same as 60 days for 1 person to finish decorating the house)
(60 people-days to finish a house)/(4 people working) = 15 days to finish
The time it takes for 4 people to decorate a house depends on several factors such as the size of the house, the complexity of the decorations, and the experience and efficiency of the decorators. On average, it can take anywhere from 1-3 days for a team of 4 people to decorate a standard-sized house.
As mentioned before, the size and complexity of the house are important factors in determining the time it takes to decorate. Other factors that can affect the time include the availability of materials, the number of rooms to be decorated, and any specific requests or customizations from the homeowner.
Yes, the time it takes to decorate a house can vary depending on the specific circumstances. For example, if there are delays in obtaining materials or unexpected issues arise during the decorating process, it can extend the time it takes to complete the project.
Having more people decorating a house does not necessarily mean the project will be completed faster. In fact, too many people working on a project can lead to confusion and inefficiency. It is important to have a balanced team with the right number of people for the size and complexity of the project.
In some cases, the time it takes to decorate a house can be shortened by increasing the number of people working on the project or by using more efficient techniques. However, it is important to prioritize quality over speed to ensure the best results. Rushing through the decorating process can lead to mistakes and a less satisfactory outcome.
