It takes 80 worker/hours to do the order.
Fifteen workers would need 80/15 hours or 5 1/3 hours.

As Mark stated..  It takes a total of 80 man hours to complete the job.
If you divide the total man hours between 15 people then each person
does 80/15 = 5 1/3 hours.  The thing to remember there is that these
people are all working simultaneously so the total clock time used is
5 1/3 hours, or 5 hours 20 minutes.
