Answer:
If the exterior of the house is 2000 square feet and each gallon of paint covers 350 square feet.
Then she needs to buy 6 gallons of paint.
Step-by-step explanation:
Dividing the total area by the area that each gallon of paint covers we get,
[tex]$\frac{2000}{350} \times \frac{50}{50}=\frac{40}{7}$[/tex]
Now, performing long division we get,
[tex]$7\overset{5}{\overline{\left){\begin{align} & 40 \\ & \underline{35} \\ & \underline{05} \\ \end{align}}\right.}}$[/tex]
She needs five gallons of paint fully and some amount of the sixth gallon because we get a remainder.
She can't buy paint in fraction, hence she has to buy 6 gallons of paint.
