How many gallons of paint do you need in order to cover the walls? Write your answer as a decimal. Pleassssssseeeeeeeeee Hhhheeeeeelllllppppppp!!!!!!!

 

Answer:

1.28 gallons of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of one wall:

Area = (Length)(Height or Width)

Area = (14 feet) (8 feet)

Area of each wall = 112 feet²

There are four walls, so multiply each wall area by 4:

Area of four walls =  4 × 112 feet²

Area of four walls = 448 feet²

1 gallon covers 350 square feet.

Gallons of paint required to cover the four walls:

448 feet² ÷ 350 feet²/gallon = 1.28 gallons of paint
