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

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.

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
