Answer:

3 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the rectangular wall = 23.6 feet

Width of the rectangular wall = 19.2 feet

Surface area of the wall = 23.6 × 19.2

                                        = 453.12 square feet

∵ 200 square feet of the wall is covered by the amount of paint = 1 gallon

∴ 1 square feet of the wall will be covered by the amount of paint = \frac{1}{200} gallons

∴ 453.12 square feet will require the amount of paint = \frac{453.12}{200}

                                                                                         = 2.2656 gallons

Therefore, minimum 3 gallons will be required to paint the wall.

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

The word per indicates the slope (m) of a linear function, y=mx +b.Using d for x and p for y , the equation representing Ashely's reading is p = 10d. Carly begins on page  40 which represents b, the y intercept of a linear function which indicates an initial amount.  So the equation representing Carly's reading is p=8d + 40.
