Important Rule:
no. of machine *rate *Time = work.
Given,
Machine = 4
Time = 8
work = 16
we can find out the rate.
4*8*r = 16
r = 1/2.
This rate can be used to 2nd case.
machine * rate * time = work
m * 1/2 * 16 = 64
m = 8.
The best answer is C.

4 machines working at a constant rate:
\(\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x} = \frac{16}{8}\)
\(\frac{4}{x} = 2\)
\(x=2\) (days per birdhouse) or just \(\frac{8}{4} = 2\) (days per birdhouse)
Had the rate been kept the same we would have got 32 houses in 16 days not 64. That means we need to double the rate to fulfill this job or to double the number of machines.
y - new # of machines
\(\frac{y}{2} = 2*2\)
\(\frac{y}{2} = 4\)
\(y=8\)
Answer C
