Answer 1

Answer:

14 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we figure out how many gallons of paint is needed to paint the mural.

This is modeled by the followng expression: 3*6=18

Since there are 6 sections and each section needs 3 gallons of paint.

Now to find how many gallons are left we need to subtract the amount she used from what she had.

32-18=14

Therefore, she'll have 14 gallons of paint left.

Answer 2

Answer:

You will have 14 gallons of paint left over.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide a mural into 6 sections, and paint each section with 3 gallons of paint per section, that means you are using 3 gallons of paint 6 times.

3 x 6 = `18

Therefore, you will be using 18 gallons of paint for the mural, and when you subtract 18 gallons from the original 32 gallons of paint, you get 14 gallons left over.
