It takes three 1-gallon buckets to paint 72sqft, if you simplify or find the unit rate, you can know that you can paint 24sqft with one 1-gallon bucket of paint. Since you need to paint 90 sqft, you can’t use three buckets because it only covers 72sqft, but if you use 4 buckets, it will cover 96sqft.

THE ANSWER IS 4 1-GALLON BUCKETS OF PAINT

to fill a coffee mug at a local shop costs $2.50. the shop sells coffee beans foe $12 per pound. each pound makes enough coffee
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

There are a few possible answers so read explanation, but the one I will put up here is:

20.83

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find how much 100 cups of coffee costs in store.

To do this you will multiply 2.50 by 100 and get 250. So now we know 100 cups of coffee in store costs $250 whereas 100 cups at home is $12.

To find how many times greater the price in store is compared to the at home brew, you have to divide 250 by 12 and get 20.8333333....

We don't stop there though, because it asks us to approximate. I am not sure what it would like us to round to, but here are some possible approximations:

  1. 20.83
  2. 20.8
  3. 21

Any of those re reasonable approximations, you choose whichever you think the question wants, or whatever your teacher asks for.

Hope this helps
