Question

You paint four walls. Each wall is a rectangle with a length of 24 feet and a height of 12 feet. One gallon of paint covers about 360 square feet. How many gallons of paint do you need in order to cover the walls?

HELP QUICK PLEASE

Answer 1

15 gallons

369 divided by 24

Answer 2

3.2 Gallons

Explanation:

First you figure out the area of each rectangle:

24 x 12= 288 squared feet

Then multiply 288 by four (because there are four walls):

288 x 4= 1,152

Finally you divide 1,152 by 360:

1,152 ÷ 360 = 3.2
