Explanation:

Given - Adalyn's mom is painting a wall in her bedroom with chalkboard

            paint. If the dimensions of the wall are 12 feet by 9 feet and one

            can of paint covers up to 110 square feet.

To find - Will one can be enough to cover the wall ? Explain.

Proof -

Given that ,

Dimensions of the wall are 12 feet by 9 feet .

Also,

One can of paint covers up to 110 square feet.

Now,

We know that Area of wall should be painted.

So, firstly we find the area of the wall.

Now,

Area = 12×9 feet²

       = 108 feet²

⇒Area  of wall = 108 feet²

Now,

As Area of the wall (108 feet²) < One can of paint covers (110 feet²)

∴ we get

One can is enough to cover the wall.
