The area covered by 1 liter and 10 liters of paint are 4.5 and 45 m³ area respectively.
Using the concept of proportional relationship;
Let area covered by 1 liter of paint = a
Now we have ;
13.5 = 3
a = 1
cross multiply
3a = 13.5
a = 13.5/3
a = 4.5 m²
Hence Area covered by 1 litre of paint is
B.)
Let area covered by 10 liters = b
Now we have;
13.5 = 3
b = 10
3b = 135
b = 135/3
b =
Hence, 10 liters of paint will cover 45 m³
