Problema Solution
A gallon of paint will cover 300 square feet of wall space. How many gallons of paint will you need
for the living which is 440 square feet.
Answer provided by our tutors
1 gallon of paint covers 300 ft^2 then 'x' gallons of paint will cover 440 ft^2 thus we can write the following proportion
1 : 300 = x : 440
x = 440/300
x = 1.47 gallons
we will need 1.47 gallons of paint to cover 440 ft^2 area.
