Question

It takes 54 minutes for 4 people to paint 6 walls. How many minutes does it take 6 people to paint 7 walls?

Answer 1

Answer:

It will take 42 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this we first have to calulate how long will it take one person to paint one wall:

54/6=9minutes

That is between 4 people it will take 9 minutes to paint a wall, one person alone supposing they all work at the same rate will take 36 minutes.

Now we just multiply that by the number of walls to be painted:

36*7=252

And we divide that by the number of people painting:

252/6=42

So it will take 42 minutes to paint 7 walls with 6 people painting.
