Easy Measurement Units Of Measurement

Alice is decorating her room and needs to know how much paint to buy. She has a wall that is 10 feet tall and 15 feet wide.

If one gallon of paint covers 350 square feet, how many gallons of paint will Alice need to buy to paint the wall?

First, calculate the area of the wall using the formula for area:

Area = Height × Width

Then, determine how many gallons are required by dividing the area by the coverage of one gallon of paint.
