andre is painting the recreation center as part of a volunteer project. the game room is 600 square feet and andre used 3 gallons of point. the art room is 400 square feet. andre wants to estimate how much paint he needs.
how many gallons of paint does andre need for the art room?
area (sq ft) art room game room
400 600
paint (gal) ? 3
To estimate how much paint Andre needs for the art room, we can set up a proportion based on the square footage and the amount of paint used in the game room.
Let x be the number of gallons of paint needed for the art room.
400 square feet (art room) is to x gallons of paint as 600 square feet (game room) is to 3 gallons of paint.
400 / 600 = x / 3
Solving for x:
x = (400/600) * 3
x = 2
So, Andre would need 2 gallons of paint for the art room.
