Question

Lance used two gallons of paint to 785 square feet

Answer 1

To determine the coverage of the paint that Lance used, you can calculate the coverage per gallon in square feet.

First, let's find out how much area one gallon of paint covers:

1. **Total area covered**: 785 square feet
2. **Total gallons used**: 2 gallons

Now, calculate the coverage per gallon:

\[
\text{Coverage per gallon} = \frac{\text{Total area covered}}{\text{Total gallons used}} = \frac{785 \text{ square feet}}{2 \text{ gallons}} = 392.5 \text{ square feet per gallon}
\]

So, one gallon of paint covers approximately **392.5 square feet**.
