A woman was painting her nails before going out to dinner. Before she started, she realized that she could take no more than 20 minutes to finish. If it takes 0.23 minutes to paint each nail, and the paint takes 15 minutes to dry, then what is the maximum amount of nails she will be able to paint before time runs out?
