Let's first break it down to the time 8 people need for one wall. That would be 10 minutes, right? If one person would have to do it in stead of 8, you'd expect him to take 80 minutes.
To paint 7 walls, he would nee 7x80 = 560 minutes. 10 people would do that 10 times faster, ie., 56 minutes.
I know puzzles like these always have a mindtrick. Did I miss anything?? ;-)
Answer:
The length of the long side is 147 ft
The length of the short side is 30 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
L=5s-3
s= 324-2L
324=2(5s-3)+s
distribute
324=10s-6+s
simplify
324=11s-6
add 6 to both sides
330=11s
divide by 11
30=s
Plug in the s value to determine the length of the long side
