Answer:

2 gallons of paint

Explanation:

If 3/4 of a gallon covers 2/5 of a wall, this means that a half of 3/4 gallons can cover 1/5 of a wall.

By knowing this, you can just make up your own expression

(the trick is to find a way to break it down to one, so you can multiply and manipulate it to save yourself some brain cells)

Hoped this helped you :3
