Question

Took Gage 1 of a gallon of paint to create a mural of his favorite team the Grizzlies. He was asked to replicate his mural for 8 different businesses in Memphis. How much paint will he need for the 8 other murals?

Answer 1

Answer: He will need 8 gallons of paint for the other murals.

Explanation:

Given: 1 gallon of paint was required to create 1 mural.

Since replicates have the same dimensions, i.e same total surface area.

So, if 8 replication need to be made, the quantity of the paint required for this will be

8 x (Quantity required for 1 mural)

= 8 x 1

= 8 gallons

Hence, he will need 8 gallons of paint for the other murals.
