Hector used 3 gallons of paint to cover 1,050 square feet and 5 gallons to paint an additional 1,750 square feet. How many gallons of paint would he need to cover 2,800 square feet?

He would need 8 Gallons

1050 / 3 = 350
1750 / 5 = 350
2800 / 350 = 8

1050 + 1750 = 2800
3 + 5 = 8

He needed 8 gallons to paint the 2800 square feet.
