If you would like to know how many gallons of paint will Henry need to paint his living room, you can calculate this using the following steps:
the ceiling: 24 ft * 18 ft = 432 ft squared
walls: 2 * 24 ft * 9 ft + 2 * 18 ft * 9 ft = 2 * 24 * 9 + 2 * 18 * 9 = 432 + 324 = 756 ft squared
432 ft squared + 756 ft squared = 1188 ft squared
1 gallon of paint ... 450 ft squared
x gallons of paint = ? ... 1188 ft squared
1 * 1188 = 450 * x
1188 = 450 * x /450
x = 1188 / 450
x = 2.64 gallons of paint
The correct result would be 2.64 gallons of paint.
