approximately 55 ft2

can ignore the window area if we are given the area of the wall that is going to be painted.
The amount painted with 2 coats is 15.30 m^2
convert that to ft^2
15.30 m*m* 3.2808^2 ft^2/m^2=164.68 ft^2
divide that by 55 ft^2/1 pint
units will be pints
that is 2.994 pints or need 3 pints.
