Question

A wall is 300 ft a gallon of paint covers 110 square feet what is the appropriate conversion factor to determine how many gallons of paint will be needed to paint with

Answer 1

`(1 gallon)/(110 square feet)` is the Conversion Factor

Explanation:

To calculate the number of gallons needed, divide the area of the wall by the coverage provided by one gallon of paint:

gallons of paint =
`(area of wall)/(Coverage per gallon)`

Substitute the values:

gallons of paint =
`(300 square feet)/(110 square feet/gallon)`

calculate:

Gallons of paint ≈ 2.727

So, approximately 2.727 gallons of paint would be needed to cover a wall that is 300 square feet. Since you can't have a fraction of a gallon, you would likely need to round up to 3 gallons to ensure complete coverage.
