Answer:

Thus approximately 3 tins of paint are required.

Step-by-step explanation:

A paint tin has quantity of 2.5 L.

One Litre of paint covers 25m² of wall.

We are given that length of wall is 17.5m and breadth of wall is 4m.

Area of the wall is = 17.5 x 4

= 70m²

One tin can cover 25 m² .,i.e., 2.5 litres of paint can cover 25m² of wall.

Now let p be the amount of paint required to cover 70m² of wall.

Amount of paint to paint 70m² area of wall

= 70 x 2.5 / 25

= 175 / 25

= 7 Litres

Thus 7 Litres of paint or approximately 3 tins of paint are required to paint the wall of area 70m².
