A man hour is the product of a person multiplied by an hour. It is a unit of how long a task would take one person.

A task that takes 12 man hours, for example, would take 12 hours for one person to complete, six hours for two people, four hours for three people, three hours for four people, etc.

1 man x 12 hours = 12 man hours

2 men x 6 hours = 12 man hours

3 men x 4 hours = 12 man hours

4 men x 3 hours = 12 man hours
