A painter made the table below to show the amount of paint it takes to cover a certain amount of square feet. The amount of paint varies directly with the area of each wall. Amount of Paint and Size of Wall
Area of wall feet squared, x
64
144
400
Amount of paint (pints), y
4
9
25

How much paint should the painter expect to use to paint a wall with an area of 256 square feet?
16 pints
32 pints
128 pints
225 pints

16 pints

Step-by-step explanation:

it seems like there's a pattern. when you divide x by 16, you get the result of y.

64/16 = 4

144/16 = 9

400/16 = 25

so to find the answer would be x/16 = y.

sqrt ft is x, pints is y.

we're looking for how many pints of pain we should use for 256 sqrt ft. we use that same equation, but replace x with 256, and solve for y.

256/16 = 16

therefore, your answer is 16 pints.

d. millimeters per hour.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given that,

carlo used a rain gauge to measure the amount of water his lawn is receiving from the sprinklers.

since, according to the options, we see that,

water cannot be measured by 'miles per hour', 'meters per second' and 'grams per seconds'.

we get that, the water can be measured by 'millimeters per hour'.

hence, the appropriate rate for describing the amount of water is 'millimeters per hour'.
