10. Multi-Step Mrs. Sullivan calculates that she
needs 12 gallons of paint to paint her house.
She already has 8 quarts of the paint she
needs. How many gallons of paint should
she buy?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

Amount of paint to be bought = 10 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of paint needed by Mrs. Sullivan to paint her house = 12 gallons

She is already having paint = 8 quarts

Since, 1 quart = 0.25 gallons

Therefore, 8 quarts = 8 × 0.25

                                 = 2 gallons

So, amount of paint she is already having = 2 gallons

Amount of paint to be bought = 12 - 2

                                                    = 10 gallons
