assuming efficiency of each man to dig trench, in one day, for one hour is constant,

[tex] e=\frac{180}{4\times6\times5}=\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

so one man, working for one hour in one day can dig 1.5 m

so 8 men, working 3 hours a day and will take, say $d$ number of days and efficiency will be constant. so,

$\frac32=\frac{220}{8\times3\times d}$

$\implies d=\frac{55}9=6.12$
