Question

An interior painter is painting a wall that is 8 feet by 14 feet. He needs to determine how much paint he will need for the job. If a pint will cover 40 square feet, how many pints of paint are needed to paint the wall?

Answer 1

So if you do 8x14=112 is the area. So 112 divided by 40= 2.8. He will need 2.8 pints of paint.
