Answer:
They can paint 18. 66 sq ft with 3 gallons of paint.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total area painted = 280 sq ft
Total gallons of paint used = 45
So, 45 gallons of paint painted 280 sq ft.
⇒ By UNITARY METHOD,
1 gallon of paint paints sq ft
So, area painted by 1 gallon = 6.22 sq ft
⇒ area painted by 3 gallon = 6.22 sq ft x 3 = 18. 66 sq ft
So, they can paint 18. 66 sq ft with 3 gallons of paint.
Answer:
a) 10 pieces of 2/3 pound can be made.
b) 0.54 pounds of wax is left over.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total amount of clear wax available = pounds
So, the maker has in total 4.5 pounds of wax
Now, The weight of each piece = pounds
To find the number of pieces that can be made out of 4.5 pounds of wax,
let that number = n
So,
or, n =
So, nearly 6 pieces can be made completely out of the clear wax
Left over amount of wax = Total weight - Weights of the pieces made
= 4.5- 6(0.66)
= 0.54 pounds
Hence, 0.54 pounds of wax is left over
