Answer: 14 cans

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, Total area to paint = 400 square meters

approximately 3.28 feet in a meter.

So, 400 square meters = 400 x (3.28)² square feet

i.e. Total area to paint  = 4303.36 square feet

One gallon of paint requires for every 300 square feet.

One liter contains approximately 0.264 gallons

Then, One gallon = \dfrac{1}{0.264}\approx3.78\text{ liters}

So, 3.78 liters paint requires for every 300 square feet.

Paint requires for each square feet = (3.78)÷(300) liters

Total paint required  = (Total area to paint ) x (Paint requires for each square feet)

= (4303.36)x (3.78)÷(300)

≈54.22 liters

Each can contains 4 liters of paint.

Smallest number of cans required = (Total paint required )÷ 4

=(54.22 ) ÷ 4

= 13.55≈ 14

Hence, 14 cans are required .

The sum of two numbers is 120. Three times
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The answer is 68 and 52

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 120

3(x - y ) = 48

We have 3x + 3y = 360

and 3x - 3y = 48

Adding we have the following:

6x = 408

x = 68

y = 120-48 = 52
