    Answer:

    One gallon of paint can cover \frac{1}{4} of a wall.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    start by writing the ratio:

    \frac{1}{2\\} : \frac{1}{8}

    There are two halfs in one gallon so you multiply the \frac{1}{2\\} by 2. And whatever you do to one side must be done to the other so:

    \frac{1}{2\\}×2 : \frac{1}{8}×2

    Evaluate.

    1: \frac{2}{8}

    this can be further simplified to

    1: \frac{1}{4}
