Answer:

44 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Decreasing the people by a factor of 2 means we have 3 people

The job takes 6* 22 = 132 people hours

When we decrease the people, it will take more hours

132 people hours = 3 people * t hours

Divide each side by 3

132/3 = 3t/3

44 = t

It will take 44 hours
