Answer: It will take 199.5 gallons to paint the whole fence.

Explanation:

Given: Paint required to paint
\frac47of fence = 114 gallons

Then , paint required to paint whole fence =
114/\frac47

i.e. paint required to paint whole fence =
114*(7)/(4)

i.e. Paint required to paint whole fence= 199.5 gallons

Hence, it will take 199.5 gallons to paint the whole fence.
