you should write your post like this  so it is easy for people to read.  If four men can dig a piece of land   in 2days at eight hours everyday.   How many days can two men dig in   every six hours perday?

for the work totally  4×2×8=64 hours are needed.  if two men work only 6 hours each day,  they need ((64)/(2×6))=5(1/3) days

$${for}\:{the}\:{work}\:{totally} \\ $$$$\mathrm{4}×\mathrm{2}×\mathrm{8}=\mathrm{64}\:{hours}\:{are}\:{needed}. \\ $$$${if}\:{two}\:{men}\:{work}\:{only}\:\mathrm{6}\:{hours}\:{each}\:{day}, \\ $$$${they}\:{need}\:\frac{\mathrm{64}}{\mathrm{2}×\mathrm{6}}=\mathrm{5}\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}}\:{days} \\ $$
