Example: Carlos buys 1 gallon and 2 quarts of paint for a single coat, his house is 350 square feet, in order to increase volume of paint when painting the inside and outside of the house, carlos would need slightly more than a gallon if the walls are unpainted. Carlos haves 4 walls to paint inside and outside the house. How can Carlos increase the volume of paint?
I need help answering, thanks...
Why doesn't he open one of the quart containers?
To calculate the volume of paint Carlos will need, we first need to determine the total area of the walls that need to be painted on both the inside and outside of the house.
Since Carlos has 4 walls, we need to calculate the total area of all 4 walls combined. If we assume that the walls are all rectangular, we can calculate the area of each wall by multiplying its height by its width.
Once we have the area for one wall, we can multiply it by 4 to get the total area of all 4 walls.
To calculate the volume of paint needed, we need to convert the area into gallons and quarts. Since Carlos already has 1 gallon and 2 quarts of paint, we need to determine how much additional paint he will need.
One gallon is equal to 4 quarts. So, Carlos already has 1 gallon + 2 quarts, which is equivalent to 4 quarts + 2 quarts = 6 quarts.
To check if Carlos has enough paint, we need to convert the total area of the walls into quarts. Since 1 quart of paint can cover 25 square feet, we can divide the total area of the walls by 25 to get the required volume in quarts.
If the walls have not been painted before, Carlos would need slightly more than a gallon of paint. In this case, we need to round up the required volume of paint to the nearest whole number.
To increase the volume of paint, Carlos can either purchase an additional quart of paint or switch to a larger container size, such as a 5-gallon bucket. This way, he will ensure he has enough paint to complete both the inside and outside painting of his house.
