Stacy and neil painted 280 ft2 of their living room wall with 45 gallon of paint. how many square feet can they paint with 3 gallons of paint?

The number of square  feet that can be painted with 3 gallons of paint is 18.667 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Stacy and Neil painted 280 ft² of their living room wall with 45 gallon of paint.

To find the number of square feet that can be painted with 3 gallons of paint,

we will simply use proportion;

Let x = number of square feet that can be painted with 3 gallons of paint

280 ft²     =     45 gallons

   x           =       3 gallons

cross multiply

45  ×   x   =   280  ×    3

45x    =   840

Divide both-side of the equation by 45

45x/45   =  840/45

(on the right-hand side of the equation, 45 at the numerator will cancel-out 45 at the denominator leaving us with just x while on the right-hand side of the equation, 840 will be divided by 45)

x = 18.667 ft²

Therefore, the number of square feet that they can paint with 3 gallons of paint is 18.667 ft²

answer: yard ramps with a level off platform are typically 36 feet long. truck, rather than at an angle, enabling access to those pallets at the very back of the truck. if you are using your yard ramp to convert a loading dock into a drive-in door, we even at 60 inches (5 feet) high and a 30 foot ramp, the slope of the ramp will be less
