Four painters working at the same rate can paint a building in 6 days. How long would it take for three of them to paint the same building?

8 days

Step-by-step explanation:

There are more than one way to do this:

Here's one way:

The least common multiple of 4 people and 3 people is 12 people.

12 people is 3 times as many people as 4 people, and

12 people is 4 times as many as 3 people.

Since 4 people take 6 days, 3 times as many people take only

one-third as long, or only 2 days. (since 2 is one-third of 6)

Since 3 people is only one-fourth as many people as 12, it will take

them 4 times as long as it would take 12 people, or 8 days. (since

4 times 2 is 8).

8 days

Since 4 people take 6 days, their combined rate is 1/6 of a job per day.

So one person's rate is 1/4 of that rate or 1/4 of 1/6 of a job per day,

or 1/24 of a job per day.  Then 3 people's rate will be 3 time 1/24 of a

job per day, or 3/24 of a job per day.  And 3/24 reduces to 1/8 of a

job per day, so it will take them 8 days to complete the job.
