The answer is 141.35 ft²

Before the first break, it was painted:
150 ft² ÷ 2 = 75 ft²
Now it's left:
150 ft² - 75 ft² = 75 <span>ft²

Before the second break, it was painted:
75 </span>ft² ÷ 2 = 37.5 <span>ft²
Now it's left:
75 </span>ft² - 37.5 ft² = 37.5 <span>ft²

Before the third break, it was painted:
37.5 </span>ft² ÷ 2 = 18.75 <span>ft²
</span><span>Now it's left:
</span>37.5 ft² - 18.75 ft² = 18.75 <span>ft²
</span>
<span>Before the fourth break, it was painted:
</span>18.75 ft² ÷ 2 = 9.375 <span>ft²
</span><span>Now it's left:
</span>18.75 ft² - 9.375 ft² = 9.375 <span>ft²
</span>
<span>Before the fourth break, it was painted:
</span>9.375 ft² ÷ 2 = 4.6875 <span>ft²
</span><span>Now it's left:
</span>9.375 ft² - 4.6875 ft² = 4.6875 ft²

Now, we will sum what he painted for now:
75 ft² + 37.5 ft² + 18.75 ft² + 9.375 ft² 4.6875 ft² = 141.3125 ft² ≈ 141.35 ft²

When the painter takes his fifth break, there will be <span>141.35 ft² of the wall painted.</span>
