Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

10 walls that are each 100sqfeet totals to 1000sqfeet. 1000/250 is equal to 4 cans.

Answer:

  • 4 cans

Solution:

We know that:

  • Apartment = 10 walls
  • 1 wall = 100 sq. feet
  • 1 can = 250 sq feet

Solution:

  • 1 wall = 100 sq. feet
  • => Apartment = 10 walls = 100 x 10
  • => Apartment = 10 walls = 1000 sq. feet
  • => 1 can = 250 sq feet
  • => x cans = 250x = 1000
  • => 250x = 1000
  • => x = 4

Hence, 4 cans are required to paint the apartment.
