Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The table made by the painter shows the amount of paint required to cover a certain amount of area of the wall.

Amount of paint is directly proportional to the area covered

In other words Amount of paint (y) ∝ Area covered (x)

y ∝ x

As we know when proportionality sign is removed, a constant known as proportionality constant is multiplied with the variable.

So y = k(x) where k is the proportionality constant

Now from the table to cover the area of 64 square feet, 4 pints of paint is required.

Now from the formula

4 = 64x

x = \frac{4}{64}=\frac{1}{16}

Now we have to calculate the amount of paint required to cover the area of 256 square feet.

y = \frac{1}{16}\times 256

y = 16 pints

Therefore, 16 pints of the paint will be required to cover 256 square feet.

Option A is correct.

Joseph has started completing the square on the equation 3x2 - 7x + 12 = 0. He has worked to the point where he has the expressi
tresset_1 [31]
3x^2 - 7x + 12 = 0 ....subtract 12 from both sides
3x^2 - 7x = -12 ....divide both sides by 3 to get x^2 by itself
x^2 - 7/3x = -4

His work is not accurate because he divided the second term by 4 instead of 3.
