It takes 40 minutes for 8 people to paint 4 walls. how many minutes does it take 10 people to paint 7 walls?

Its not 70 its 56, because you have to see how many minutes it takes for 1 to do 4 walls which would be 40*8.
Then you have to see if how many minutes its take a person to do one wall which is 8*40/4 from getting the amount of the 1 person doing 4 walls and get 80.
Then you need to see how many walls a person can paint 7 walls out of 10 people.So, we know how many minutes for each wall which is 80 and then multiply it by 7 to get 560 and divide it by 10 to get a product of 56.

Hope i can you!
