Explanation:

This question is the second part (Part B) of a two-parts question.

You need solve the first part first, to use the result as input of this second part.

Please, find attached the whole question.

Part A. Angela's rate of paint coverage

Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:

                 [this is square yards]

                         [this is gallons]

Now calculate the rate:

         [that is square yards per gallon]

Part. B.

To compare the rates first change 32 yard²/gallon to feet²/gallon.

3: 2

step-by-step explanation:

shorter piece is 2: 3, so just reverse it, and you get 3: 2
