Question

John and Maria want to repaint one of their living room walls, which is 20 feet long by 15 feet

wide. Each quart of paint covers 100 square feet. How many quarts do you suggest they purchase?
(Section 10.7) (1 point)

Answer 1

The Answer is 3 Quarts.

Answer 2

3 quarts.

Explanation:

The wall is 20 feet by 15 feet. That means the area of the wall is 20 * 15 = 300 feet squared. Since one quart of paint covers 100 square feet, they will need to purchase 300 / 100 = 3 quarts of paint.

Hope this helps!
