Convert the repeating decimal to an improper fraction or mixed number. Include your work in your final answer. \(3.\overline{152}\)

at least two

step-by-step explanation:

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.
