Question

Tyler painted 9/2 square yards of wall area with 3 gallons of paint how many gallons of paint does it take to paint each square yard if a wall

Answer 1

It takes
`(2)/(3)` gallons of paint to paint each square yard of wall

Solution:

Given that Tyler painted
`(9)/(2)` square yards of wall area with 3 gallons of paint

To find: gallons of paint needed to paint each square yard of wall

From given question,

Let "x" be the gallons of paint needed to paint each square yard of wall

`(9)/(2) \text{ square yards } = 3 \text{ gallon of paint }`

1 square yard = x gallons of paint

Mathematically this is proportion, by cross multiplying we get,

`(9)/(2) * x = 1 * 3\\\\x = 3 * (2)/(9)\\\\x = (2)/(3)`

Thus it takes
`(2)/(3)` gallons of paint to paint each square yard of wall.
