The original perimeter is 32ft.
The dimensions of the new rectangle are 72 ft wide and 24 ft long.
The new perimeter is 192 ft.
When the dimensions are multiplied by 6, the perimeter also multiplied by 6.
The painter needs at least two gallons of paint to cover the wall.
To get this answer, you first need to find the area of the wall; by multiplying 20.5 x 16.4. This will get you 336.2.
Then, you need to divide 336.2 by 200. This will get you approx. 1.6.
If it's asking for partial gallons as well, stop here. Your answer is 1.6.
If not, continue.
Unless you're including partial gallons, you can't get 1.6 gallons of paint, so you need to round up. This will be 2 gallons.
