I believe that 7/45 is a repeating decimal
First find the area of each wall. This is length*width which would be 12*8.5=102. There are four walls in the room because it’s a square so that would be 102*4=408. So the total area you need to paint is 408ft one gallon will cover 75ft so 408/75=5.44 gallons of paint.
This question is about compound interest, but since the interest is such a small number you can use what you know about simple interest to eliminate some answers.
You can immediately eliminate choice A as a clunker, since it is less than the original amount in the account.
Consider what the amount of interest would be if you make the rate much larger than the original rate, say 10%, or 0.1:
$6,500 × 0.1 = $650
If this amount were added to the original amount each year for two years, the total would be:
$6,500 + $650 + $650 = $6,500 + $1,300 = $7,800
This is an over-estimate for the information given, and since choices C and D are even greater than this over-estimate, they can be eliminated. That means choice B is the correct answer.
? it’s already rounded, is there supposed to be a decimal?
A water hose had filled up 1⁄3 of a pool after 1⁄2 of an hour. At this rate, how many hours would it take to fill the pool?
It takes 1.5 hours or 1 hour and 30 min. to fill the pool.
