I also need help with this question because I'm really not getting this question at this time.
A paint manufacturer suggests using 1 gallon of paint for every 400 sqaure feet of wall. At this rate, how many gallons of paint woulb be required for room that has 1400 square feet of wall?
Divide:
1400 / 400 = ?
You can also do it the long way:
1 gallon = 400 sq. ft.
2 gal. = 800 sq. ft.
3 gal. = 1200 sq. ft.
4 gal. = 1600 sq. ft.
3.5
To determine how many gallons of paint would be required for a room with 1400 square feet of wall, we need to find the ratio between the amount of paint and the square footage.
First, we need to calculate the ratio of square footage to the amount of paint suggested by the manufacturer. This can be done by dividing the square footage by the recommended amount of square footage per gallon of paint:
1400 square feet รท 400 square feet/gallon = 3.5 gallons
Therefore, it would require 3.5 gallons of paint to cover a room with 1400 square feet of wall.
