Elaine is painting a fence. she knows that she needs 1 gallon of paint for each 10 feet of fencing. the fencing will enclose a rectangular yard that is 3 yards long and 2 yards wide. how much paint does elaine need? (remember 3 feet = 1 yard)

So first you have to figure out how many feet of fencing you have, so you can get the amount of paint. We can add 6 and 4 (3+3, 2+2) to get 10, and then multiply by 3 to get 30 feet. Now you can divide by 10 to get 3 gallons of paint, which is your final answer. I hope this helps!
