Alrighty, so, I believe the correct answer is C.) If 8 pints cover 400 square feet then 400/8 should give you the square feet that is covered by 1 pint which is 50.

Hope this helps!! (:

Answer 2

The square covered by 8 pints is 400 square feet. then 1 pint will cover the 50 squares.

What is the unitary method?

The unitary method is a method for solving a problem by the first value of a single unit and then finding the value by multiplying the single value.

A gallon can of paint holds 8 pints. The label says it will cover 400 square feet.

So, the square covered by 8 pints = 400 square feet

The square covered by 1 pints =  400/8

                                                     = 50.

Thus, the square covered by 8 pints is 400 square feet. then 1 pint will cover the 50 squares.
