HI THERE!!

So 10 walls takes 22 ,multiply by 10=220
Next , 22 people-minutes per wall

14 walls take 14*22 = 308 people - minutes
308 people - minutes/14 people
= 22 minutes.

Therefore,the answer is 22 Minutes.

Ok so this is how we do it:

22 minutes -- 10 people -- 10 walls

? minutes --- 14 people -- 14 walls

Now we have to see 10 times what equals 14, so we can do the same for 22. So we do 14 divided by 10.

14 / 10 = 1.4

Now we do 22 times 1.4. This equals 30.8. So it takes 30.8 minutes for 14 people to paint 14 walls. I hope you get it correct!
