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?
2000/40=6000/x
240000=2000x
120=x
120 minutes!
Thanks, I bumped into the same promblem and this helped alot.
\(x=120\) \(240000=2000x \) \(\dfrac{2000}{60}=\dfrac{6000}{x}\)
