Question

A gallon of paint can cover 2/25 of the wall. How much of the wall will be painted if there were 5 gallons of paint?

Answer 1

If one gallon of paint can cover 2/25 of the wall, then 5 gallons of paint can cover:

5 x 2/25 = 2/5 of the wall.

Therefore, if there were 5 gallons of paint, 2/5 of the wall would be painted.
