How much paint is needed to cover 100 square feet?

To determine how much paint is needed to cover 100 square feet, you first need to know the coverage area of the paint you are using. This is typically indicated on the paint can as the coverage rate in square feet per gallon. Once you have this information, you can calculate the amount of paint needed by dividing the total square footage (100 sq. ft.) by the coverage rate of the paint. For example, if the coverage rate is 250 sq. ft. per gallon, you would need 0.4 gallons of paint (100 sq. ft. / 250 sq. ft. per gallon = 0.4 gallons).
