Answer 1

Answer:

Pual needs 3 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The dimensions of the four walls are:

   25 × 8 , 30 × 8 , 25 × 8 , 30 × 8

∴ The area of painting = 2(25 × 8) + 2(30 × 8)

                                     = 400 + 480 = 880 square feet

∵ each gallon paint 400 square feet

∴ The number of gallons = 880/400 = 2.2, so he needs 3 gallons
