Answer:

3 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

If two gallons of paint covers 800 square feet, 'x' gallons of paints will cover 1200square feet room where x is the number of gallons needed to paint the 1200 square feet room.

Mathematically,

2 gallons = 800sq.ft

x gallons = 1,200sq.ft

x × 800 = 2 × 1200

x = 2 × 1200/800

x = 3 gallons

Therefore Leah will need 3gallons of paint for 1200sq.ft room
