32*16= 512 how much you need to paint

campbell_st · Answer

find the area of the wall in square feet

Area = 32 x 16

next find how many litres of paint are needed 

No. of Litres = Area/100

convert the number of litres to gallons... 

you need to find the conversion  1 US gallon = 3.7854 litres
                                                 1 Imperial gallon = 4.546 liters


For now many gallon cans, round your answer to the 1st part... number of gallons up to the nearest whole number. 

last part use the conversion again
