Question

An advertisement about the paint that you want to use reads: “Just 2 quarts covers 175 square feet!” If you need to apply two coats of paint on all the walls, how many quarts of paint do you need to buy?

Answer 1

Answer:7

Explanation:

Answer 2

The question isn’t really detailed that well, but assuming that you only need to paint 4 walls, you’ll need enough paint to cover 175•4 feet. Which is 700ft of paint. Since 2 quarts covers 175 feet you’ll need 8 quarts to cover 700 feet. But it says you want to apply TWO coats of paint of all the walls. So the answer is 16 quarts of paint.
