Answer:
number of gallons to cover 4 walls= 1.28 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
The walls are four in number. Each wall is rectangular in shape. The length of each wall is 14 feet and the height is 8 feet. A gallon of paint will cover an area of 350 square feet. For each wall, the area can be computed since the height and the length is known.
Area of each wall(rectangle) = Length × height
length = 14 feet
height = 8 feet
Area of each wall(rectangle) = 14 × 8
Area of each wall = 112 square feet
The total square feet is 112 × 4 walls
total square feet of the 4 walls = 448 square feet
Since, 1 gallon will cover 350 square feet
? gallons will cover 448 square feet
cross multiply
number of gallons = 448/350
number of gallons to cover 4 walls= 1.28 gallons
