+216 I have to paint one side of a wall. The wall is $15$ meters tall and $60$ meters long. Each gallon of paint covers $400$ square feet. If a foot is approximately $0.3048$ meters, then what is the smallest whole number of gallons I can buy and have enough paint to cover the whole wall?
+1950 We can use simple conversions and calculations to solve this problem.
We first find the total area needed, then divide it by 400, before doing conversions.
Thus, we have
[15∗60∗1/400]=9/4
Converting to meters, we have
9/4(0.30482)≈25
so our answer is just 25.
Thanks! :)
