Elaine is painting a fence. She knows that she needs 1 gallon of paint for each 10 feet of fencing. The fencing will enclose a rectangular yard that is 3 yards long and 2 yards wide. How much paint does Elaine need? (Remember 3 feet = 1 yard)

After this, please follow directions.

School Subject:_____________ (Examples: math, science, algebra, geography)

P = 2L + 2W

P = 2(9) + 2(6)

P = 18 + 12

P = 30

30 / 10 = ________ gallons

To find out how much paint Elaine needs, we first need to calculate the perimeter of the rectangular yard.

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 x (length + width)

Given that the length is 3 yards and the width is 2 yards, we can calculate the perimeter as follows:

Perimeter = 2 x (3 + 2)
Perimeter = 2 x 5
Perimeter = 10 yards

Now, we need to convert the yards into feet, as we know that Elaine needs 1 gallon of paint for each 10 feet of fencing.

1 yard = 3 feet

So, 10 yards will be equal to:

10 yards x 3 feet/yard = 30 feet

Now that we know the length of the fencing is 30 feet, we can find out how much paint Elaine needs:

1 gallon of paint for each 10 feet of fencing

30 feet of fencing = 30/10 = 3 gallons of paint

Therefore, Elaine needs 3 gallons of paint to paint the fence.

To calculate the amount of paint Elaine needs, we first need to find the perimeter of the rectangular yard.

The length of the yard is given as 3 yards, which is equivalent to 3 yards * 3 feet/yard = 9 feet.
The width of the yard is given as 2 yards, which is equivalent to 2 yards * 3 feet/yard = 6 feet.

The perimeter of the rectangular yard is calculated by summing the lengths of all four sides. In this case, it would be 9ft + 9ft + 6ft + 6ft = 30 feet.

Next, we need to determine how much paint is needed per 10 feet of fencing. From the given information, we know that 1 gallon of paint is needed per 10 feet of fencing.

To calculate the amount of paint needed for the entire fence, we divide the total length of the fence (30 feet) by the amount of fencing covered by 1 gallon of paint (10 feet per gallon):

30 feet / 10 feet per gallon = 3 gallons of paint.

Therefore, Elaine needs 3 gallons of paint to paint the fence.
