Question

If five quarts of paint are needed for 250 square-feet of room, 13 quarts of paint will cover how many square feet of room?

Do not put units or commas, only put the number value to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

650

Explanation:

let the unknown feet of room = X

5 paints = 250 square feet of room

13 paints = X

cross multiply

5*X = 250*13

X =3250÷5

X = 650 square feet of room

Answer 2

650. find the unit measurement, or in this case how many ft does one quart cover. 1 quart will cover 50 ft. so, multiply 50 by 13 to get 650 sq ft
