Answer 1

41 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

It takes 41 minutes for 9 people to paint 9 walls.

9 walls/ 9 people = 1 wall / person

So it takes 41 minutes for 1 person to paint 1 wall

14 walls/ 14 people = 1 wall / person

It will take the same amount of time

41 minutes

Answer 2

41 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

When 9 people are painting 9 walls, there are the same amounts of people and walls. This means all of the walls are being painted at the same time, with one person painting each wall.

The same applies to 14 people painting 14 walls. All of the walls are being painted at the same time, with one person painting each wall.

Even if there was only one person painting one wall, it would take 41 minutes.
