Each gallon of paint covers $200$ square feet. I have to paint one side of a wall that is $12$ meters tall and $80$ meters long. 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?

4.0 ft

step-by-step explanation:

4.0 ft

step-by-step explanation:

you divide the denominator by the numerator on both sides and if the quotients are equal then the fractions are equivalent

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
