Scenario: Finish the program to compute how many gallons of paint are needed to cover the given square feet of walls. Assume 1 gallon can cover 350.0 square feet. So gallons = the square feet divided by 350.0. If the input is 250.0, the output should be:
0.714285714286
____________________________________-
gallons_paint = 0.0
wall_area = float(input())
# Assign gallons_paint below
''' Your solution goes here '''
print(gallons_paint)
I’ve been trying different combinations and I can’t figure out how to get the float right.
Any help would be appreciated! 🙂
>Solution :
Assuming wall_area is a floating point number, it’s simple:
gallons_paint = wall_area / 350
