Answer:
3.9
Step-by-step explanation:
√15 = 3.9, rounded.

X*y = distance
So the answer would be B.) xy miles
The number of buckets is directly proportional to the area and the thickness of the wall and inversely proportional to the amount of paint. Mathematically, we can write:
n = k · (a · t) / p
where k is the proportionality constant which we do not know.
We can calculate k with the given data: 5 2-gallon buckets, area of 100 square feet and thickness 3 inches:
k = (n · p) / (<span>a · t)
= (5 </span>· 2) / (100 · 3) = 0.0333
Now that we know the constant, we can calculate the area that can be painted with 8 2-gallon buckets if the thickness is 6 inches:
a = (n · p) / (k<span> · t)
= (8 </span>· 2) / (0.0333 · 6)
= 80 ft²
Please, note that we made sure to have the exact same units of measurements than the previous case.
Therefore, the correct answer is an area of 80 ft².
The closest answer is 95 square inches. Here is why. You can find the area of the rectangle by multiplying the length by the width. This would be 15 x 5 = 75 square inches. The area of the whole circle that is created when you put both halves together would be found by multiplying 3.14 x 2.5 in (the radius) x 2.5 in. This answer is about 20 square inches. The combined area is approximately 95 square inches.
