Rolandos living room is 20ft by 15ft his ceilings are 10ft high if a can of paint covers 150sq ft approximately how many gallons will it take to paint the walls and ceiling?

Answer 1

2 gallons

Um, beg to differ....

20x10=200 x 2 walls...400 sq ft

15X10=150 X 2 walls...300 sq ft

20x15=300sq ft

400+300+300=1000

divided by 150sq ft = 6.67 gallons....if all of the information we have is correct. (this does not take into account doors or windows for which you have not given us any information on)

What type of paint are you using that only estimates 150 sq ft per gallon coverage?? Be aware that sometimes the coverage sq ft estimate will vary depending on the surface, existing paint, and the method of application.
