All members of our painting team paint at the same rate. If 20 members can paint a 2000 square foot wall in 40 minutes, then how long would it take the 20 members to paint a 6000 square foot wall, in minutes?

   the 20 members to paint a 6000 square foot wall, in minutes?     

 

   Visualize the 6000 ft2 wall as three 2000 ft2 walls.    

   The members paint the first wall and it takes them . . . . . . . . . .40 minutes.     

   They paint the second wall and it takes them . . . . . . . . . . . . .  40 minutes.     

   They paint the third wall and it takes them . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 40 minutes.     

                                                                                 total time     120 minutes
