Question

One liter of paint covers 100 square feet. How many gallons of paint does it take to cover a room whose walls have an area of 800 square meters? Round your answer to the nearest whole gallon.

Answer 1

First, convert 800 square meters to square feet. I calculated it to be 8611.13 ft^2 but you should confirm that. How many L do you need to cover that. I calculate
100 ft^2/1 L x #L = 8611.13. Now convert #L to gallons. 1gallon = 3.785 L
Post your work if you get stuck.
