    Total area of wall = 24 m² and the number of cans of paint required is 4.8 cans

    How to solve

    Given data
    length = 3 m
    width = 2 m
    a can of paint will cover 10 m²
    each wall needs 2 coats of paint
    Area of a wall
    = 3 * 2
    = 6 m²
    Assuming 4 walls, total area
    4 * 6 = 24 m²
    paints required:
    since each wall needs 2 coats of paints then 1 can of paint will cover 5 m². for each wall which is 6 m² we have:
    1 can = 5 m²
      ?  =   6 m²
    let x represent the number of cans for 6 m² then for x, we cross multiply
    x = 6/5
    x = 1.2 cans
    for 4 walls we have
    4 * 1.2 = 4.8 cans
