To solve this problem, all we need is to do ratio and proportion. We know that for every 1.2 Liters, we can cover 1 m^2 of wall. Hence the ratio is:
ratio factor = 1 m^2 / 1.2 Liters
(1) for 12 Liters of paint, the area is:
area = 12 Liters * (1 m^2 / 1.2 Liters) = 10 m^2
(2) for 6.6 Liters of paint, the area is:
area = 6.6 Liters * (1 m^2 / 1.2 Liters) = 5.5 m^2
(3) for 4.8 Liters of paint, the area is:
area = 4.8 Liters * (1 m^2 / 1.2 Liters) = 4 m^2
Answer:
He can cover 10 sq. meters using 12 liters, 5.5 sq. meters using 6.6 liters, and 4 sq. meters using 4.8 liters of paint.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 12 LITERS/ 1.2 LITERS = 10 SQ. METERS
2. 6.6 LITERS/ 1.2 LITERS = 5.5 SQ. METERS
3. 4.8 ITERS/ 1.2 LITERS = 4 SQ. METERS
