Area of the small wall = 8' x 12' = 96 square feet

One man can paint it in 1/2 hour, meaning one man paints 2 x 96 = 192 square feet per hour.

Three men paint 3 x 192 = 576 square feet in an hour.

Area of the large wall = 8' x 24' = 192 square feet.

If the three men split up the job, and are careful not to step on each other

or paint the same piece more than once, they can cover the large wall in

192/576 = 1/3 of an hour = 20minutes.
