bought a gallon of paint that covers
250 square feet. She wants to paint a
wall that is 16 feet wide and 12 feet
high. Explain whether or not she will
need more than one gallon of paint

I’m not the best at these types of problems but here is my guess. 16x12=192 and the gallon covers 250 so considering 192 is less than 250, she will not need more paint. Hope this helps!
