Plz help lisa is painting a fence that is 26 feet long and 7 feet tall. A gallon of paint will cover 350 square feet. Write and solve a proportion to determine how many gallons lisa will need.
A = 26 * 7
A = 182 sq. ft
1/350 = x/182
I Sydney Terrell believe that of you multiple 1×182then the answer for it will be 182 then divided it 182÷350 then what would it be.
Lisa is painting a fence that is 26 feet long and 7 feet tall.A gallon of paint will cover 350 sq. Ft. Write and solve a proportion to determine how many gallons of paint Lisa will need
To determine how many gallons of paint Lisa will need, we can set up a proportion using the given information.
Let's assume "x" represents the number of gallons Lisa will need.
The proportion can be set up as follows:
(7 feet) / (x gallons) = (26 feet) / (1 gallon)
To solve the proportion, we can cross multiply:
7 * 1 = 26 * x
7 = 26x
Now, we can isolate the variable "x" by dividing both sides of the equation by 26:
7 / 26 = x
x ≈ 0.269
Therefore, Lisa will need approximately 0.269 gallons of paint. Since we can't have a fraction of a gallon, we can round it up to 1 gallon. So, Lisa will need 1 gallon of paint to cover the entire fence.
