I NEED HELP ASAP The volume of paint used, V liters, is directly proportional to the area, A square feet, that the paint can cover. 5 liters of paint can cover a wall with an area of 75 square feet.

a) What is the constant of proportionality? Tell how you found it.

b) Write an equation relating V and A.

c) How much paint would be needed to cover an area of 180 square feet? Show your work.

Whoever answers me correctly first will get extra points after this!

Hey! I believe this is the answer you're looking for:

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of paint used, V liters, is directly proportional to the area, A square feet, that the paint can cover.

This is written as:

\begin{gathered}V \propto A\\V=kA,$ where k is the constant of proportionality\end{gathered}

(a)5 liters of paint can cover a wall with an area of 75 square feet.

V=5 liters, A=75 square feet.

Substitution into V=kA

5=75k

k=5/75

\text{Constant of proportionality, k}=\dfrac{1}{15}Constant of proportionality, k=151

(b)Substitution of k=\dfrac{1}{15}k=151 into V=kA

The equation relating V and A is:

V=\frac{1}{15}AV=151A

(c)If A=180 Square feet

Volume of paint needed,

\begin{gathered}V=\frac{1}{15} X 180\\=12$ liters\end{gathered}

answer: just subtact the units and then add the non negative : happy to
