The expression that we need to get is:
So the correct option is the second one.
<h3>Which expression gives the number of gallons of stain Bradley will need?</h3>
We know that 1 gallon is enough to cover 200 ft².
We have two rectangular areas, one of:
23 feet by 10.4 feet, and other of 10.5 feet by 7.2 feet.
Then the total area is:
A = (23 ft)*(10.4 ft) + (10.5ft)*(7.2 ft)
The number of gallons needed is given by the quotient between the area that we want to cover, and the area that covers one gallon, so the expression is:
So the corerect option is the second one.
