Whitney has 51.78 pounds (lbs.) of dirt. she wants to put 2.54 pounds (lbs.) of dirt in a bucket. if whitney has 20 buckets, is that enough to put all of the dirt into buckets?

the given 6 = w/p is equivalent to 6p = w, where w is the total area of the walls and p is the area covered by a single can of paint.

knowing that 6 cans of paint will be needed, 6p = w becomes 6(6) = w = 36.   this tells us that the total area to be painted is 36 square units.

same question do you know the answer
