Question

3 gallons of paint cover 900 square feet. How many gallons will cover 300 square feet?

Answer 1

Answer:

1 gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the relationship is direct, meaning as the number of square feet decreases, the number of gallons also decreases.

3:900 = x:300

solution:

3(300) = 900x

900=900x

x=1

Answer 2

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

3 gallons for 900 sqft

1 gallon for 300 sqft

900/300=3

3/3=1
