Question

If 3 quarts of paint are needed for 50 ft of fence, how many quarts are needed for 300 ft of fence?

Answer 1

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you would do a proportion

$\frac{3}{50}$=$\frac{x}{300}$

Then you would cross multiply, getting 50x=900.

After that, you would do 900/50, which is 18.
