Question

If a bucket of paint is enough to paint 1000 square feet of wall, how many buckets of paint will be required to paint a museum wall that is 120 feet long and 15 feet high?

Answer 1

Answer:

approximately 2 buckets of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

first we will have to find the area of the museum wall-

120*15= 1800 square feet

therefore, the answer in proportion way=

1:1000= y:1800

= y*1000= 1*1800

therefore, y= 1*1800/1000= 18/10= 1.8 buckets of paint

thus, approximately 2 buckets of paint are needed

hope it helped

Answer 2

Area of the museum wall

120 × 15=1800 square feet

therefore, the answer in proportion way=

1/1000 = y / 1800

=y × 1000 = 1 × 1800

therefore,

y=1 × 1800/1000=18/10=1.8 buckets of paint

thus, approximately 2 buckets of paint are needed
