The walls of a square room need painting. Each of the four walls is 12ft wide by 8.5 feet tall. One gallon of paint covers 75ft2. How many gallons will you need

5.44 gallons of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we calculate the total area of the walls we need to paint. To do this, we use the formula for the area of a rectangle and we multiply our answer by 4, since there are 4 walls.

Area=(length*width)4

Area=(12*8.5)4

Area=(102ft^2)4

Area=408ft^2

Therefore, the total area of the walls is 408ft^2.

Now, we need to calculate the number of gallons we need to paint 408ft^2 worth of wall. Because we know that one gallon of paint covers 75ft^2, we can calculate this by dividing 408 by 75.

408/75

=5.44 gallons

Therefore, we would need 5.44 gallons of paint to paint the four walls.
