A painter made the table below to show the amount of paint it takes to cover a certain amount of square feet. The amount of paint varies directly with the area of each wall.

Amount of Paint and Size of Wall
Area of wall feet squared, x
64
144
400
Amount of paint (pints), y
4
9
25

How much paint should the painter expect to use to paint a wall with an area of 256 square feet?

Respuesta :

Answer:

16 pints

Step-by-step explanation:

it seems like there's a pattern. when you divide x by 16, you get the result of y.

64/16 = 4

144/16 = 9

400/16 = 25

so to find the answer would be x/16 = y.

sqrt ft is x, pints is y.

we're looking for how many pints of pain we should use for 256 sqrt ft. we use that same equation, but replace x with 256, and solve for y.

256/16 = 16

therefore, your answer is 16 pints.
