You paint four walls. Each wall is a rectangle with a length of 20 feet and a height of 12 feet. One gallon of paint covers about 320 square feet. How many gallons of paint do you need in order to cover the walls?

3 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Each wall 12 x 20 = 240 feet squared

4 walls =  4 x 240 = 960 squared feet

960 divided into 320 = 3

1 gallon 320

1 gallon320

1 gallon320

                    3 gallons960

the answer is:

the correct option:

b.

to solve the problem, we need to remember how to operate to simplify exponential expressions using the logarithms.

we are given the equation:

then, using placing logarith with base 7 on both sides of the equation, we have:

so, rounding the obtained result to two decimal places (nearest hundreth), we have:

hence, we have that the correct option:

b.

have a nice day!
