It takes21 minutes for 5 people to paint 7walls. How many minutes does it take 3people to paint 5 walls?

1 answer:

8 0

so 5 people work each one for 21 minutes, that means 21+21+21+21+21 minutes altogether, namely 105 minutes, it took that long for 7 walls, hmmmm how long for just one wall then? well, 105 ÷ 7, namely 15 minutes then, for just 1 wall.

now, if it takes 15 minutes of work to do one wall, what about 5 walls? well, that'd be 15*5 or 75 minutes.

so if we have 3 folks working, how much would each one work? well, 75 ÷ 3, namely 25 minutes, so each of them will work 25 minutes, namely 25+25+25 minutes, so in 25 minutes, they'll be done with 5 walls.
