Hint
How many batches of rolls can one baker make and bake in 5 hours?
Answer
Five bakers.
2 bakers can make and bake 6 batches of rolls in 3 hours
1 baker can make and bake 3 batches of rolls in 3 hours
1 baker can make and bake 1 batch of rolls in 1 hour
1 baker can make and bake 5 batches of rolls in 5 hours
So 4 bakers could only make and bake 20 batches of rolls in 5 hours, and we require the extra baker to make and bake the remaining 2 batches of rolls.
