One gallon of paint covers about 450 square feet. How many square feet will 1.5 gallons of paint cover? 300 sqft
900 sq ft
675 sq ft
451.5 sq ft
please answer !!

Option A: 300 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, all you do is divide! What is 450 / 1.5? 300. And don't forget to add your unit.

675 sq ft

Step-by-step explanation:

If one gallon covers 450 sq ft, then 1.5 gallons covers 450 sq ft + 50% of 450.

So...

Divide 450 by 2

450 / 2 =

225

Then Add

450 + 225 =

675 sq ft

step-by-step explanation:

hello and welcome!

so, when we see the words "proportional" along with a table, we need to know that we're looking numbers that divide by the same thing.

looking at this table, we simply have to do a trial and error, and divide to see which numbers have the same quotient. if you look at choice a & c, they both have equal quotients for three of the numbers, with one exception, so those can't be the answer. looking at b, there is no similarity, so that can't be it. then, we see d; if you divide all the numbers in the table, you'll see that they all divide by two, which is a proportional relationship, and our answer!

also, always remember that the x will always be the number that goes into y, and somewhere behind this table, is a formula. for this specific table, the formula would be:

since our x-value is being divided by two to get the y-value. and if they were to ask for more numbers in the series, this is the formula you would use to find them.
