Answer:

Gia will need 2 liters of paint to cover her wall

Explanation:

To get this, what we need to do at first is to calculate the area of the wall.

Mathematically since we have a rectangular wall, the area can be calculated by multiplying the length by the breadth.

Thus A = 4 * 5 = 20 M^2

Now from the beginning of the question, we were made to know that 1 liter will cover an area of 10 M^2

Thus, the amount in liters of paint that will cover an area of 20 M^2 will be 2 * 1 = 2 liters
