Question

Tyler used 114 gallons of paint to paint 47 of a fence. How many gallons will it take to paint the whole fence?

Answer 1

Answer: It will take 199.5 gallons to paint the whole fence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  Paint required to paint $\dfrac47$of fence = 114 gallons

Then , paint required to paint whole fence = $114\div\dfrac47$

i.e. paint required to paint whole fence = $114\times\dfrac{7}{4}$

i.e.  Paint required to paint whole fence= 199.5 gallons

Hence, it will take 199.5 gallons to paint the whole fence.
