When you multiply a whole number by a fraction, multiply the whole number by the numerator ( top number) and then divide by the denominator (bottom number).
8 x -8/9 = (8 *-8)/9 = -64/9 = -7 1/9 = -7.1
1 gallon is 3.78 L
100 sq feet needs 1 L
800 sq feet needs x
100/800 = 1/x
100x = 800
x = 800/100
x = 8 L
If you use the fact that 4 L = 1 gallon then you need 2 gallons of paint. I you use the more accurate 3.78 L then
1 gallon = 3.78 L
x gallon = 8 L
3.78 x = 8*1
x = 8/3.78
x = 2.12 gallons.
I guess you could say that 1 gallon and 1 L would do you.
1 yard = 3 feet
4 yards x 3 feet = 12 feet
12 feet is less than 13 feet
So False, 4 yards is <em>less than </em>13 feet
hope this helps
