Answer: 12 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation: For two people, it takes an hour to paint a fence. With ten people, however, it takes very little time to paint a fence. 10 people are 5 times more people than when you have only 2. It would only take 12 minutes because it takes 5 times less time with 10 people than with only two.

Let me know if this is right! :)

Answer: 12 minutes

Explanation:

Time taken by 2 people = 60 minutes

The time taken by 1 person is double that = 60 x 2 = 120 minutes

So the time taken by 10 people = 120 minutes / 10 people = 12 minutes
