Basically, because of the first part of your question, it takes 9 minutes for one person to paint a quarter of a wall. This means that it would take 36 minutes for one person to paint an entire wall. It also means that it would take 6 minutes for one person to paint 1/6 of a wall.

If there are 4 walls to paint, and 6 people around to paint them, each person would get 4/6 of a wall to paint. This means that it would take 24 minutes for these 6 people, working together, to paint 4 walls. 4 x 6 minutes (because they'd each be painting 4 x 1/6 of a wall) = 24 minutes.

It takes 45 * 4 = 180 people-minutes to paint 5 walls.
Therefore to paint 4 walls it will take:
\frac{180\times4}{5}=144\ people-minutes
The time needed for 6 people to paint 4 walls is given by 144/6 = 24 minutes.

one batch of cookies makes 24 cookies. the recipe calls for 1 3/4 cups of flour. if Sarah needs to make 60 cookies how much flou
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

4 3/8 cups of flour needed for 60 cookies

Explanation:

You can multiply 24 by 2.5 to get 60 so you'd multiply the cups of flour by 2.5 as well. You multiply both of them by the same number because it's a ratio. You'd multiply then simplify to get the answer 4 3/8 cups of flour.
