Question 1195715: A decorator is painting an odd shaped wall in an attic. The wall has one window, measuring
0.6 m by 0.5 m. The decorator calculates the area of the wall he is going to paint is equal to
7.65 m2
. The paint comes in 1-pint containers and each container covers between
approximately 55 ft2
. How many containers of paint should the decorator purchase in order to
give the wall 2 coats of paint? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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.
