Question

One gallon of paint covers 375 square feet of wall space. How many whole gallons of paint are required for 2,350 square feet?

Answer 1

To find the number of whole gallons of paint required to cover 2,350 square feet, we have to divide

$\frac{2,350ft^2}{375ft^2}\approx6.2$

Therefore, there are needed 7 whole gallons of paint to cover the wall because 6 are not enough.
