Copy dot flip

1/5 * 4/1

4/5 gallon per wall

4/5 gallon of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5 gallon of paint is needed to cover 1/4 of the wall.

To cover the whole wall:

1/4 × 4 = 1 (whole)

1/5 × 4 = 4/5

square root of 36/6 = 2.449489743

square root of 16/6 = 1.632993162

square root of 6 = 2.449489743

the answer is square root of 16/6 because the square root of 36/6 is the same answer as square root of 6 = 2.449489743
