c. If 4 students share a 30-square footwall equally, how many square feet of the wall will be painted by each student?
d. what fraction of the wall will each student paint?

Answer 1

Explanation:

So, first we can do 14/4 which is 3.5

Each class uses 3.5 gallons

For (B), we can do 3.5 * 3 which equals 10.5 gallons

For (C), we can do 30÷4 which is 7.5 square feet

For (D) they each paint 1/4 of the wall
