Question

the number of gallons of paint needed to cover a wall is equal to the walls total area divided by 350.0. the program reads wall_area from input, representing a walls total area. then, the program computes num_gallons as wall_area / 350.0.
complete the program to output the number of gallons of paint needed to cover the wall, rounded to five digits after the decimal point.

ex 1: if variable wall_area is assigned the value 250.0 read from input, then the output is:
0.71429
ex 2: if variable wall_area is assigned the value 10578.6 read from input, then the output is:
30.22457
note: print(f\{my_float:.xf}\) outputs my_float to x digits after the decimal point.

Explanation:

Step1: Read wall area as float

wall_area = float(input())

Step2: Calculate paint gallons

num_gallons = wall_area / 350.0

Step3: Print rounded to 5 decimals

print(f"{num_gallons:.5f}")

Answer:

The completed program code is:

# Assign wall_area with a float read from input
wall_area = float(input())

# Compute num_gallons
num_gallons = wall_area / 350.0

print(f"{num_gallons:.5f}")
