If 10 people can paint a building in 5 days each person moves as quickly as the other how much of the building can 7 people paint in 10 days
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"If 10 people can paint a building in 5 days" then the rate of each worker is 1%2F%2810%2A5%29 = 1%2F50 of the building per day.


Then 7 people in 10 days can paint %287%2A10%29%2F50 buildings.


Calculate how much it is.
