Answer:

48 minutes

Explanation:

we know that

It takes 48 minutes for 7 people to paint 7 walls.

Divide the number of people by the number of walls

Each person paints 1 wall in 48 minutes

therefore

If each people can paint 1 wall in 48 minutes

then

20 people can paint 20 walls in 48 minutes
