All members of our painting team paint at the same rate.  If $20$ members can paint a $1500$ square foot wall in $30$ minutes, then how long would it take 15 members to paint a $1200$ square foot wall, in minutes?

20 members * 30 minutes = 600 member minutes required

600 member minutes / 1500 ft^2 = .4 member minutes / ft^2 

 

.4 member minutes / ft^2  * 1200 ft^2   /  15 members =  32 minutes required
