Answer 1

Answer:

12 gallons of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

Sasha can paint 400 square feet using 1 gallon of paint

If she needs to paint 4,704 square feet, then she will need to purchase 4,704 / 400 = 11.76 gallons of paint. Since she can only purchase paint in whole gallons, she will need to purchase 12 gallons of paint (we have to round up).
