Answer 1

Second part

Answer: She requires 5.44 gallons

Explanation:

From the previous calculations,

area of deck that needs to be sealed = 1849 square ft

1 coat means the paint would be applied once. Let x represent the number of gallons of sealer needed to seal the deck.

From the information given,

1 gallon of sealer = 340 square feet

x gallons of sealer = 1849 square feet

By cross multiplying,

340 * x = 1 * 1849

340x = 1849

x = 1849/340

x = 5.44

She requires 5.44 gallons
