Answer:

3 gallons will cover one wall, in order to cover 3 walls you would need 9 gallons of paint!

3 gallons covers 1 wall and you need 3 walls painted 3×3=9

9 gallons of paint is the answer

Answer:

48

Explanation:

If 4 gallons covers 1/4 of the wall, 16 gallons will cover a whole wall. Three walls need to be covered so 16x3=48.

4x4=16

16x3=48

Hope this helps!
