Answer:

1.8 gallons

Explanation:

Let's first start by finding the area of the three walls

Area of one wall = length * width = 18ft * 10ft = 180ft²

Next we multiply this by three to get the area of all three walls

180ft²*3=540ft²

Since each gallon can cover 300 square feet:

540/300=1.8 gallons
