Question

A gallon of paint covers 400 square feet. How many square feet will 2 3/8 gallons of paint cover? Show work

Answer 1

2 3/8 is equal to 19/8

So all you have to do is multiply the number to the fraction to get the answer

400 x 19/8= 950 square feet

Answer 2

950 square feet. 2 gallons is 800, 1/8 of a gallon is 50, 50x3 =150. 800+150=950 gallons
