Complex Equations cont.

Solution

Step 2: Determine the correct formula and insert numbers:

Sealer required, Gallons = Total area to be sealed ft / Coverage area per Gallon ft 2
2

Now plug in the numbers and perform the math—

2
# of Gallons = 3,856ft / 248ft 2

# of Gallons = 15.55 gallons

Accordingly, the operator in this scenario needs to purchase 16 gallons of wood sealer to

complete the job.
