Answer: 20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine that each person is assigned one wall, and all 5 people begin painting at the same time.

Since everyone will finish painting their assigned wall after 20 minutes, it takes one person 20 minutes to paint one wall.

If we have 9 people and 9 walls, we can again assign one wall to each person.

Everyone will take 20 minutes to paint their assigned wall.

In other words, it takes 20 minutes for 9 people to paint 9 walls.

Answer:

$\#\text{ of 8-onion bags: }4,\\\#\text{ of 3-onion bags: }3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $a$ be the number of bags with 8 onions and let $b$ be the number of bags with 3 onions. We have the following system of equations:

$\begin{cases}a+b=7,\\8a+3b=41\end{cases}$

Subtracting $b$ from both sides of the first equation, we get $a=7-b$ . Substitute this into the second equation:

$8(7-b)+3b=41,\\56-8b+3b=41,\\56-5b=41,\\-5b=-15,\\b=\boxed{3}$

Therefore, the number of 8-onion bags is:

$a=7-b,\\a=7-3,\\a=\boxed{4}$

Thus, the chef got 4 8-onion bags and 3 3-onion bags.
