Question 939654
It takes 25 minutes for 8 people to paint 5 walls. 
How many minutes does it take 5 people to paint 7 walls?
------
time is directly related to # of walls and inversely related to # of people
----
t = k*w/p
----
Solve for "k" using "It takes 25 min for 8 people to paint 5 walls".
25 = k*5/8
k = 40
------
Equation for this problem
t = 40w/p
----
Your Problem::
"How many minutes does it take 5 people to paint 7 walls?"
t = 40*7/5
t = 8*7
time = 56 minutes
