SOLUTION: when you solve rates such as it takes 5 people 8 hours to paint 6 walls, what is the formula? PLEASE I NEED HELP!

Hi, there--

We need a little more information to help you. There are a few different strategies (formulas) 
for solving problems like this. It depends upon what question you are trying to answer.

For example, a problem might ask "If it takes 5 people 8 hours to paint 6 walls, how many 
hours will it take those same five people to paint 12 walls?

Email me back directly with as much information as you have (a specific problem) and I'll be 
glad to help. 

If you are looking for something really general, let me know that too, and I'll point you toward some good resources.

Hope this helps,

Mrs. Figgy
