Square Containers A Gallon Of Latex Paint Can Cover 500 Square Feet. Find How Many Gallon Containers Of Paint Should Be.........

The central problem is the size of the 4 walls to be determined.
There are two sides of 14 meters and two walls 16 feet,
if it makes our calculations easier.
Area = length x width
Surface of two walls 14 feet = 2 x 14 meters x 8 meters
Near the two walls 14 feet = 224 square feet.
Now we calculate the surface of the wall 16 meters wide.
Surface of two walls 16 feet = 2 x 16 meters x 8 meters
Surface of two walls 16 feet = 256 square feet.
224 qm + 256 sqm = 480 sqm.
480 square meters
----------------
500 square meters per gallon.
= 96 gallons for a layer.
Then, both hands are 1.92 gallons.
Good luck in your studies,

BTW, there Quatt47 an incorrect answer.
224 meters square meters square + 256 ≠ 580 square feet.
Remember that small errors that you can taste test.
Well, start with one gallon covers only 100 square meters):
The approach is to calculate the area to be covered. They do not go to the doors or windows, or if the ceiling painted. If only the walls is the calculation: --
2 walls of 16 x 8 = 128 x 2 = 256 square feet
2 walls of 14 x 8 = 112 x 2 = 224 square feet
Area = 580 sqm
2 shifts are needed in total
2 x 580 = 1160 square meters
1 gallons covers 500 square meters to gallons are needed
2 160/500 or 1160/500 = 2 8 / 25 gallons
Decimal or 2.32 gallons
If there windows and doors should be calculated and deducted from the surface of the surface of the original walls of 580 square meters, then the bill, as indicated.
I hope that helps.
7 gallons 1 liter.
I do not think, gave the correct answer. The question asks how many gallons of paint must be purchased, then the answer is a whole series of containers.
They have a rectangular room 14 'x 16' with a ceiling height of 8 '.
You have 2 walls that are 14 'x 8' and 2 walls that are 16 'x 8'
Sum of areas of the 4 walls
(2 * (14 * 8)) + (2 * (16 * 8)) = (2 * 112) + (2 * 128) = 224 + 256 = 480 square meters
You want to put two coats of paint, so you double the size:
2 * 480 = 960 square meters
So you have 2 gallons Color
(2 * 500 square meters = 1000 square meters ... the smallest whole number larger than the area that needs painting.)
By the way, if you paint the ceiling, you have the 2 * 14 * 16 to the area in the paint.
* 2 layers of the roof area = 448 square feet
This would give an area of 960 pictures + 448 = 1408 square feet square meters
And unfortunately, this would mean that yougo buy one gallons, paint, more generally, on what you are buying it to 3 liters.
