Respuesta :

Answer:

Sue should buy 1.6 quart of paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find out the area of longest wall

Area =length × breadth

Area= 10 × 8 = 80 square feet

To cover 50 square feet we have required 1 quart of paint

So for covering 1 square feet we have required 1/50 quart of paint

So for covering 80 square feet we have required  ( 1×80 ) / 50 quart

= 1.6 quart of paint
