The painter needs at least two gallons of paint to cover the wall.

To get this answer, you first need to find the area of the wall; by multiplying 20.5 x 16.4. This will get you 336.2.

Then, you need to divide 336.2 by 200. This will get you approx. 1.6.

If it's asking for partial gallons as well, stop here. Your answer is 1.6.

If not, continue.

Unless you're including partial gallons, you can't get 1.6 gallons of paint, so you need to round up. This will be 2 gallons.

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

First calculate the area of the wall.

Area of a rectangle = width x length

Width = 16.4 ft and length = 20.5 ft

Therefore, area = 16.4 x 20.5 = 336.2 ft²

If one gallon can of paint covers 200 ft²  then we need 2 cans of paint to paint a wall measuring 336.2 ft² (as 2 cans of paint = 2 x 200 = 400 ft²)

Here is a scary story for all!! Enjoy!!

The Ghost Man

Once upon a time there was a family, made up of two young ones and their parents. One day, the parents had to go out to do something important. They had to call someone to take care of their children, so they called a lady who was friends with them. Then the lady arrived and the parents left. She made sure the kids ate and then she put them on their bed to sleep. Their house had two floors and the kids were on the second floor upstairs.  Then, she went to sit down on the couch and started to watch tv. She was watching tv when suddenly her phone rang, and she answered the phone. It was an unknown number. She answered it and a creepy voice said, “Have you gone to check on the kids?” When she heard that she automatically hung up. A few minutes later she heard it again, “Have you gone to check on the kids?”. She kept on hearing it for a few times until she started to be a little scared. She called the police as quickly as she could. She told the police that a man who was unknown kept calling her and threatening her. Then the police said that when that man calls again, he will try to locate the man that is calling her. Then the man called again and the police were able to locate the man. A few minutes later, the police called again and he said, “Get out of the house right now because the man that is calling you is on the second floor of your house”. Then the lady remembered that the kids were upstairs so she ran upstairs as fast as she could and it was too late, the kids were gone and there was blood all over their room. The kids were never seen again and lots of police men are still going to look out to find this mysterious man who is going out to get every person he sees. So be careful of what you do because you might hear their cries too.    

Hope you like it!! ;)
