Answer:
Amount of paint to be bought = 10 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of paint needed by Mrs. Sullivan to paint her house = 12 gallons
She is already having paint = 8 quarts
Since, 1 quart = 0.25 gallons
Therefore, 8 quarts = 8 × 0.25
= 2 gallons
So, amount of paint she is already having = 2 gallons
Amount of paint to be bought = 12 - 2
= 10 gallons
