----
# of artists is directly related to # of models, directly related
to # of canvases and indirectly related to time.
---
a = k*m*c/t
-----
Solve for "k" using "Two and a half artists spend two and a half hours painting two and a half models on two and a half canvases".
----
(5/2) = [k*(5/2)*(5/2)]/(5/2)
(5/2) = k*(5/2)
k = 1
------
Equation:
a = mc/t
------------
How many artists are needed to paint 24 models on 24 canvases in twenty hours?
a = 24*24/20
a = 28.8 artists
