Question

Finish the program to compute how many gallons of paint are needed to cover the given square feet of walls. Assume 1 gallon can cover 350.0 square feet. So gallons = the square feet divided by 350.0. If the input is 250.0, the output should be:
0.714285714286

Answer 1

Answer:

The program in Python is:

Area = float(input("Area: "))

print("Gallons: "+str(Area/350.0))

Explanation:

The requirement of the program is straightforward and what is required is to divide the inputted area by 350.

Hence, the explanation is as follows:

This line prompts user for Area

Area = float(input("Area: "))

This line calculates and prints the equivalent number of gallons

print("Gallons: "+str(Area/350.0))
