Answer: Matthew will use 12.25 Gallons of Paint. (I'm not sure if I have the correct amount of cm so if you think/know it's a different amount, use the step by step explanation to figure it out. Good luck :D)

Step-by-step explanation: 28x2.5 = 70. 70 Feet to Square Feet = 4900 square feet. 4900 divided by 400 = 12.25.
