Answer:
11 people in 20 minutes
Explanation:
if 5 people would take 9 minutes to head back and forth, so 10 people would take another 9 minutes to head back and forth
so totally there would be 10 people heading to the island, so there would be extra 2 minutes so 1 more person can head to the island. the other 1 minute, there would not be time left to head back and return. so totally 19 people can reach the island in 19 minutes
hope this helps you!!!!!
