Question

A rectangular billboard is 30 feet by 18 feet. If a gallon of paint covers 250 square feet, how many gallons should be purchased to cover the entire board?

1
2
3
4

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

30 x 18 = 540 (area)

540/250=2.16

Since we need to find out how many gallons should be purchased to cover the ENTIRE board, we would say 3 because 2 gallons would still out the .16 feet left in 2.16

Answer 2

The answer to this problem should be 3.
