+1190 All members of our painting team paint at the same rate. If $50$ members can paint a $3600$ square foot wall in $20$ minutes, then how long would it take for $25$ members to paint a $4000$ square foot wall, in minutes?
+1622 The following statements can be deduced:
Given: 50 members can paint a 3600 square foot wall in 20 minutes. That means that if I divide the area of the wall by 9, the time would take 9 times less
50 members can paint a 400 square foot wall in 20/9 minutes. That means if I halve the number of members, it would take double the time.
25 members can paint a 400 square foot wall in 40/9 minutes. That means if I multiply the area of the wall by 10, the time would take 10 times more.
25 members can paint a 4000 square foot wall in 400/9 minutes.
