Answer:

3 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the area of the floor first:

25.6*15.2=389.12

Now we divide the surface area by gallons of polyurethane.

389.12÷180=2.161777777777777777777777777777....≈2.16 gallons needed. But OH WAIT! You can't buy 0.16 of a gallon so you need 3 gallons.
