You can easily solve this by setting up a proportion with walls on the top and paint on the bottom. First we can find the decimal equivalent of each of those fractions to make things easier. 5/8 = .625 and 4/5 = .8.
. What this is asking is "if 4/5 (.8) of a wall is covered by 5/8 (.625) of a gallon of paint, how many walls (x) will 1 gallon of paint cover?" If we cross multiply we have .625x = .8 and x = 1.28 which is the same as 1 7/25 walls/1 gallon, choice C.

Step-by-step explanation:
just look at the graphic : what value do we have on the cost side, when we have 1 pounds on the amount side ?
all the answer options specify a price per pound. that is why we only need to focus on the price for one pound.
we see in the graphic, that for 1 pound the price is $4.
just to make sure, we can also work with the directly specified point (0.5, 2), which means that 0.5 pounds cost $2.
and the function is clearly a straight line.
so, every point on the function has the same y/x ratio (slope).
therefore,
2/0.5 = 4
now, what point with x=1 has the same ratio ?
y/1 = 4
y = $4
perfect, the results are identical. so, $4 per pound is the correct answer.
Yes. When a graph has more than one line it is a piece wise graph.
