The four sides of a rectangular shed are being painted. The shed measures 14 feet by 10 feet and is 8 feet tall. A gallon of paint covers 250 square feet. How many gallons of paint are needed?
(14+10)*16 = 384.
384/250 = 1.536
So he needs 1.536 gallons of paint. :)))
=^._.^=
here are tow sides that are 14 x 8
and two sides that are 10 x 8
2 (14*8) + 2(10*8) = 384 ft 2
384 ft2 / 250 ft2 / gal = 1.536 gallons needed
