The gallons of paint required for one square yard, and its tape diagram is required.

The volume of paint required to paint 1 square yard of the wall is [tex]\dfrac{2}{3}\ \text{gallons of paint}[/tex]

The required tape diagram is attached.

[tex]\dfrac{9}{2}\ \text{square yards}=4.5\ \text{square yards}=3\ \text{gallons of paint}[/tex]

[tex]1\ \text{square yard}=\dfrac{3}{4.5}=\dfrac{2}{3}\ \text{gallons of paint}[/tex]

So, the volume of paint required to paint 1 square yard of the wall is [tex]\dfrac{2}{3}\ \text{gallons of paint}[/tex]
