About power-building (Human)

[Moontraveler]

Ok I'm just wondering is it
"(Build Time) divided by (Number of Builders)",
"(Note: I don't know how to put it down mathematically so I'll give an example)

l No. of builders l Time l
l 1               l 1000 l
l 2               l 500  l
l 3               l 250  l
l 4               l 125  l
l 5               l 62.5 l
l 6               l 31.25 l
--------------------------

Or is it figured out some other way? (It would also help me if I knew the cost added with the power-building too.)

Bump ... I really have to find the color I can hide things in at this website.

I think that it is figured so as..

X= Base building Time
Y= Number of Workers
X/Y= Buildtime of building with Base building time X with Y workers.

Therefore, it would take 333.33 seconds to finish a building that had 1000 seconds base building time with three workers.

r * t = d
d/r = t
d/t = r

R is Rate
D is Distance or work done
t is Time
Lets factor in the builders(x), if they each build at an equal rate then
(r * x) * t = d
If you want to find time then
d/(r*x) = t
If one worker can finish one base in 1000 time then
r = 1/1000
So
d/[(1/1000)*x)] = t
If the distance is 1 then you get (In other words if you want to build one building)
1/[(1/1000)*x)] = t
Simplified
1/(x/1000) = t
More Simplified
(1000/x)1 = 1000/x = t

Have you been doing a lot of math homework for professors who refuse to accept work not written out like that?

Basically: building time/builders = time needed.

Assuming all builders build at the same rate, that is.

Actually yes (damn them) , but it does help people who aren't familiar with the equations to understand the equations.
