15 / 4 = 25 / x
15x = 100
x = 6.7 days
15x = 100
x = 6.7 days

15 men -> 1 apartment/4 days
=> 5 men -> 1 apartment/12 days
=> 25 men -> 5 apartments/12 days
So, if 25 men produce the foundations for 5 apartments in 12 days, then they will produce a foundation for ONE apartment in 12 days/5 = 2.4 days
=> 5 men -> 1 apartment/12 days
=> 25 men -> 5 apartments/12 days
So, if 25 men produce the foundations for 5 apartments in 12 days, then they will produce a foundation for ONE apartment in 12 days/5 = 2.4 days
