Question

The total square footage of wall space to be painted is 575 square ft. If a gallon of paint covers 250 square feet, how many quarts of paint will be required for the project? Set up a plan or formula for solving the problem.

Answer 1

5.75 quarts of paint required for the project

Explanation:

Usually one quart of paint cover 100 square feet

Since, a gallon covers 250 square feet, it means that

 one gallon of paint is equal to $\frac{250}{100} =2.5$ quarts of paint.

Number of gallon required to paint 575 square feet,

                                                                                        $=\frac{575}{250} \\=2.3 gallons$

So, 2.3 gallons is equal to,

                                                $=2.3*2.5\\=5.75 quarts$
