Explanation:

Given :Stacy and Neil painted 280 ft2 of there living room wall with 4/5 gallon of paint.

To Find : How many square feet can they paint with 3 gallons of paint?

Solution :

Area painted with
`(4)/(5)` gallons of paint = 280

Area painted with 1 gallon of paint =
`(280)/((4)/(5)) = 350 ft^2`

Area painted with 3 gallons of paint =
`350 * 3 = 1050 ft^2`

Hence they can paint 1050 sq.feet with 3 gallons of paint
