Question

It takes 52 minutes for 5 people to paint 5 walls. How many minutes does it take 20 people to paint 20walls?

Answer 1

Answer:

I'm not sure if I'm correct or not but, it would still take 52 minutes as the ratio of people per wall does not change.

Answer 2

Answer:

52 Minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

There is one person for every wall in the first part of the question. 5 people for 5 walls.

Therefore, the ratio of walls to people (walls:people) is 5:5.

5 to 5 is a one to one ratio.

5/5 = 1, which means it takes 1 person 52 minute to paint 1 wall.

Likewise, for the second part of the question, there are 20 people for 20 walls.

This is also a 1 to 1 ratio,

which means that it will also take 1 person 52 minutes to paint 1 wall.

Further Explanation:

People. Walls. Time

5. 5. 52

20. 20. 52

5. 20. 52 × 4 = 208

1. 20. 52 × 20 = 1040

20. 10. 52 / 2 = 26
