Solution: We are given that:

5 people can paint 7 walls in 21 minutes

Therefore, 1 person can paint 7 walls in
21 * 5=105 minutes

Which means 1 person can paint 1 wall in
(105)/(7) =15 minutes

Now, 3 people can paint 1 wall in
(15)/(3) =5 minutes

Therefore, 3 people can paint 5 walls in
5 * 5=25 minutes
