Answer: I agree with Andre
Explanation:
The area of the large art gallery to be covered is 1750 square feet. Each gallon of paint can cover 350 square feet. Using this method to estimate the gallons of paint needed, it becomes
If 1 gallon of paint covers 350 square feet, then,
1750 square feet requires 1750/350 = 5 gallons of paint.
Andre thinks he should use the rate 1/350 gallons of paint per square foot to find how much paint they need. Using this method of estimation,
If 1 square foot requires 1/350 gallons of paint, then
1750 square feet will require 1750 × 1/350 = 5 gallons
Therefore, both methods are accurate. Both will give 5 gallons. So, I agree with Andre
