If one gallon of paint covers 350 square feet, will 8 gallons of paint be enough to paints the inside and outside of the fence if the length is 60 ft, the width is 45 ft, and the height is 6ft?

How about you do some of it yourself.

What is the total area of the fence?

 Show your working and don't forget to mult by 2 because you have to paint both sides.

 

It is fair to asume that the inside field is rectangular :)

Total surface area =

 

2 [60 + 45] *6 * 2  =  2520 sq ft

 

Sq ft   that paint will cover = 8 *  350   = 2800 sq ft

 

Yep.....it looks like there will be enough.......!!!

 

 

cool cool cool

Chris, why don't you let the kids interact with their answerers. The asker was logged on when I posted my answer. 

If this kid was intetested in learning I was there to guide the learning process.  Why did you overrule me and just give the answer.
