Divya is painting a room. She uses 3/4 gallon of paint to cover 1/5 of a wall. If the walls are all the same size, how much paint will she need to cover one wall?

3.75 gallons of paint would be needed to cover the wall.

Step-by-step explanation:

She uses 3/4 gallon of paint to cover 1/5 of a wall.

how much paint will she need to cover one wall?

The straightforward way of solving this question is to simply add up the amount of paint for each one - fifth of the wall.

This means;

Total amount of paint = 3/4  +  3/4  +  3/4   +  3/4   +   3/4

Total amount of paint = (3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 ) / 4 = 15/4  = 3.75 gallons

3.75 gallons of paint would be needed to cover the wall.

according to the triangle sum theorem, all the angles in a triangle must add up to 180 degrees. if we know one angle is already 90, we do 180-90=90. the other 2 angles must add up to 90, exactly.
