Question

Willis bought a gallon of paint. He painted a wall that is 9 ft high and 10 ft wide. Then he used the rest of the paint to paint 46 square feet in the hall. How many square feet did the gallon of paint cover?

Answer 1

We want to figure out how much area the paint covered,

So,

9* 10 = area of the wall

adding the other 46 we can assume that the paint covered,

136 square feet of space

Answer 2

Well 9×10 is 90, 90+46 is 136. the paint covered 136 square feet
