Answer:

2 1/4 gallons

Explanation:

If 3/4 covers 1/3 of the wall, you need to multiply 3/4 by 3, which gives you 9/4, or 2 1/4 gallons

Hope this helps

Hey!

------------------------------------------------

If 3/4 gallon of paint covers 1/3 of the wall then you just need to multiply.

3/4 * 3/1 = 9/4 = 2 1/4

------------------------------------------------

Hence, you would need
\Large\boxed{\mathsf{2~1/4}} gallons of paint!

------------------------------------------------

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!
