Taylor wants to paint his rectangular deck that 42 feet long and 28 feet wide. A gallon of paint covers about 350 square feet. How many gallons of paint will Taylor need to cover the entire deck?
First you need to find the area of the deck by multiplying 42 and 28 together, which gives you 1176ft². If one gallon covers 350ft², you do 1176 ÷ 350 = 3.36 gallons. I hope this helps!
