Question

two and a half litres of paint is used to cover 725sq m of area . How much will be required to paint 2001sq m of area ? please help

725sq m area requires the paint = 2.5 L = 2500 mL paint
So, 2001sq area will require the paint = 2500*2001/725 = 5002500/725 = 6920 mL paint
It means 6.92L paint would be required to cover the area of 2001 sq metre.
