Answer 2

Answer:

Time taken for 20 peoples to paint 20 walls = 53 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

It’s takes 53 minutes for 6 people to paint 6 walls.

$\texttt{Time taken for a guy to paint 6 walls =}53\times 6=318minutes\\\\\texttt{Time taken for a guy to paint 1 wall =}\frac{318}{6}=53minutes$
