Question

Alyssa and her father are going to paint the house this summer.

Answer 1

Answer:

The formula to determine the area covered by one can of paint is $p = \frac{w}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula that describes this scenario ,  6=w/p

where

w is the total area of the walls

p is  area covered by a can of paint

The formula says that to paint the total area we need  6 can of paints

Thus to with the one paint can the area that can be covered is

$\bold{6=\frac{\text{total area of the walls}}{\text{area covered by a can of paint}}}$

$\bold{{\text{area covered by a can of paint}}=\frac{\text{total area of the walls}}{6}}$

$p = \frac{w}{6}$
