If 1/3 gallon of paint covers 1/6 of a wall, then how many quarts of paint are needed for the entire wall?

Respuesta :

Answer:

8 quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 of a gallon ---1/6 of a wall

                x  - 1 (all the wall)

                     x = (1 x 1/3) / 1/6

x = 1/3 / 1/6

                     x = 6/3

                     x = 2 gallons

1 gallons - 4 quarts

                     2 gallons -  x

  x = (2 x 4) / 1

                        x = 8 / 1

                        x = 8 quarts
