Gallons equal area times coats divided by coverage, rounded up.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Gallons equal area times coats divided by coverage, rounded up.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: 10 gallons
10 gallons is below the supported result for dryfall ceiling paint; it likely omits allowance, conversion, coverage, or final round-up.
Option C: 9 gallons
9 gallons is below the supported result for dryfall ceiling paint; it likely omits allowance, conversion, coverage, or final round-up.
Option D: 14 gallons
14 gallons is above the supported result for dryfall ceiling paint; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.
