Step-by-step explanation:

4/5 gallons for 280 ft² (the ² is missing in the question ...).

3 gallons would be 15/5.

so, what do I need to multiply 4 with to get 15 ?

4×x = 15

x = 15/4

multiplying now also 280 ft² with this factor gives us the answer :

280 × 15/4 = 70 × 15 = 1050 ft²

they can paint 1050 ft² with 3 gallons of paint.
