Question

you want to paint five bedrooms,each measuring 14 feet by 16 feet. 1 gallon of paint covers 400 sq. ft. how many gallons of paint will you use? ​

Answer 1

2.8 Gallons of paint.

Explanation:

So to find the total sq feet of the bedrooms and the amount of paint we need to use (14 x 16) x 5

Fun, the PEMDAS ordering. (Parenthesis Equation Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction)

Parenthesis

14x16= 244

Multiply

244x5= 1120 sq. ft.

Now we need to find how many gallons of paint we will use. If each gallon covers 400 sq. ft. we can find the total amount of gallons by doing 1120/400

1120/400=2.8

We need 2.8 gallons of paint. This can be rounded up to 3 gallons
