Question 823574: Please help me solve this question.
Damain has a room with four square wall of length 12 feet.
He wants to paint the design shown below on each of the four walls . If one gallons of paint covers 350 square feet of wall, how many gallons of blue paint and how many gallons of white paint will be needed?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Area of each wall = 12 x 12 = 144 sq ft.
Total area of the room = 4 x 144 = 576 sq ft

350 sq ft requires 1 gallon of paint.
576 sq ft would require = 576/350 = 1.646 gallons of paint.
