Convert the rates to work/mandays or work/womandays, etc.
So rate1=job/12*15*8 manhours
rate2=job/12*24*8 femalehours
rate2=job/12*36*8 boyhours.
Finally, the equation is
9/4 job = Xmen*6hrs/day*30days*rate1+ 12women*30days*6hrs/day*rate2 + 6 boys*30days*6hrs/day *rate3
solve for Xmen.
So rate1=job/12*15*8 manhours
rate2=job/12*24*8 femalehours
rate2=job/12*36*8 boyhours.
Finally, the equation is
9/4 job = Xmen*6hrs/day*30days*rate1+ 12women*30days*6hrs/day*rate2 + 6 boys*30days*6hrs/day *rate3
solve for Xmen.
