Question: 1 / 400

If a gallon of paint covers 400 square feet, how many gallons are needed to cover 1200 square feet?

2 gallons

3 gallons

To determine how many gallons of paint are needed to cover 1200 square feet, you start by identifying how many square feet one gallon of paint can cover, which is 400 square feet.

Next, you divide the total area that needs to be covered (1200 square feet) by the coverage of one gallon (400 square feet).

The calculation is as follows:

1200 square feet ÷ 400 square feet per gallon = 3 gallons.

Thus, to cover 1200 square feet, you would need 3 gallons of paint.

The correct answer reflects the needed calculation, ensuring you have enough paint for the specified area. The other options suggest more or less paint than required. For example, selecting 2 gallons would not provide sufficient coverage, while selecting 4 or 5 gallons would exceed the actual requirement.
