    I'm not sure if I'm correct or not but, it would still take 52 minutes as the ratio of people per wall does not change.

    52 Minutes

    Step-by-step explanation:

    There is one person for every wall in the first part of the question. 5 people for 5 walls.

    Therefore, the ratio of walls to people (walls:people) is 5:5.

    5 to 5 is a one to one ratio.

    5/5 = 1, which means it takes 1 person 52 minute to paint 1 wall.

    Likewise, for the second part of the question, there are 20 people for 20 walls.

    This is also a 1 to 1 ratio,

    which means that it will also take 1 person 52 minutes to paint 1 wall.

    Further Explanation:

    People. Walls. Time

    5. 5. 52

    20. 20. 52

    5. 20. 52 * 4 = 208

    1. 20. 52 * 20 = 1040

    20. 10. 52 / 2 = 26
