Question

Tyler used 114 gallons of paint to paint 47 of a fence. How many gallons will it take to paint the whole fence?

Answer 1

Answer: It will take 199.5 gallons to paint the whole fence.

Explanation:

Given: Paint required to paint
`\frac47`of fence = 114 gallons

Then , paint required to paint whole fence =
`114/\frac47`

i.e. paint required to paint whole fence =
`114*(7)/(4)`

i.e. Paint required to paint whole fence= 199.5 gallons

Hence, it will take 199.5 gallons to paint the whole fence.
