Pinto is planning to paint the walls of a bedroom that is 20 feet long, 15 feet wide, and 8 feet high. Is he too has 1 gallon of paint that covers 400 ft.², how many additional gallons of paint does he need?

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.4 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of a bedroom= 20 feet

Breadth of a bedroom= 15 feet

Height of a bedroom= 8 feet

Area of walls of a bedroom= 2(l+b)×h

Area of walls of a bedroom=2(20+15)×8 [tex]ft^{2}[/tex]

Area of walls of a bedroom= 2× 35×8  [tex]ft^{2}[/tex]

Area of walls of a bedroom=560  [tex]ft^{2}[/tex]

Amount of paint in 1 gallon = 400 [tex]ft^{2}[/tex]

Number of gallons required= [tex]\frac{560}{400}[/tex]

Number of gallons required= 1.4 gallons

Hence, 0.4 extra gallons required
