Solve. Chanasia has 6.25 gallons of paint. She wants to use 2/5 of the paint to paint her living room. How many gallons of paint will Chanasia use?

2.5 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Gallons of paint had = 6.25 gallons

Amount needed to paint room = 2/5 of the paint

Gallons of paint needed :

2/5 of 6.25

(2 * 6.25) / 5 gallons

= 12.5 / 5

= 2.5 gallons

56.6

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale.

the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the scale.

34 / 20 = k

a / 19.6 = k²

substituting:

a / 19.6 = (34 / 20)²

a = 19.6 (34 / 20)²

a ≈ 56.6
