Question

If 1/3 gallon of paint covers 1/6 of a wall, then how many quarts of paint are needed for the entire wall?

Answer 1

8 quarts

Explanation:

1/3 of a gallon = 1/6 of the wall

x of gallon = 1 of the wall

so x = 1/3 * 6 = 2 gallons

and 1 gallon = 4 quarts

then 2 gallon = 4*2 = 8 quarts

Answer 2

8 quarts

Explanation:

There are 4 quarts in a gallon. If 1/3 of a gallon cover 1/6 of a wall, then an entire gallon will cover 1/2 of the wall. This means that 2 gallons will completely cover the wall. 2 gallons equals 8 quarts.
