You used 1 gallon of paint to cover an entire wall. The paint can 480 ft. You are able to measure the length of the wall at 40 ft but cannot reach the ceiling. What is the height of the wall?

I need the steps too please

1st you must do what is 480 divided by 40

then you get 12 feet

and 12x40= 480

so the height is 12 feet =)

I guess that 480 ft is the total amount. Divide 480 with 40

480/40 = 12

12 ft is the height.

hope this helps
