Answer:
2 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
If you use one whole gallon, you will have covered 2/4.
When you simplify this fraction, you get 1/2. This means you have another half to cover.
So, 1 gallon plus another gallon is 2.
Answer:
2 gallons of paint.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] gallon of paint covered = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of the wall.
Therefore, 1 gallon of paint covered = 1 × [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] of the wall.
To paint 1 wall we need the paint = [tex]\frac{1}{\frac{1}{2} }[/tex] = [tex]1\times\frac{2}{1}[/tex] gallon of paints
= 2 gallons of paint.
2 gallons of paint covers the whole wall.
