Kyle is planning to paint the top of a small rectangular table using tubes of craft paint. the dimensions of the table top are 3.25 feet by 4.5 feet. the paint comes in tubes that cover approximately 1.125 square feet. how many tubes will kyle need to purchase to paint the top of the table?

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
