Question

three quarts of latex enamel paint will cover about 270 square feet of wall surface. how many quarts will you need to cover 350 square feet of wall surface in your kitchen and 100 square feet of wall surface in your bathroom?​

Answer 1

Kitchen - 3.89 quarts or 3
`(8)/(9)` quarts of latex enamel

Bathroom - 1.12 quarts or 1
`(1)/(9)` quarts of latex enamel

Explanation:

270 feet² for every 3 quartz.

We need how much ft² 1 quart can cover.

So,

270 ÷ 3 = 90 ft²

Every 1 quart covers about 90 ft² of wall.

For kitchen we need to cover 350 ft².

So,

350 ÷ 90 = 3.89 quarts or 3
`(8)/(9)` quarts of latex enamel

For bathroom we need to cover 100 ft².

So,

100 ÷ 90 = 1.12 quarts or 1
`(1)/(9)` quarts of latex enamel
