Question

Amelia wants to paint three walls in her family room. Two walls are 26 feet long by 9 ft wide. What is the total area of the walls that Amelia wants to paint? Each gallon of paint covers about 250 square feet. How many gallons of paint should Amelia buy to paint the walls?

Answer 1

We have to find the area of each wall and then multiply it by  the number of gallons.
So the formula of the two walls are 2(26*9), which is 2(234) then simplified into 468.
Afterwards we have to multiply 468 * 250 and get 58500 sq ft
Ans:58500 sq ft
