Randall Ewing · Answer 1

3/4 bottles of paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's a cube, that means each face has the same area, implying that it takes the same amount of paint to cover each side. If one-eighth covers one side of a cube, and there are 6 sides, then the answer is 6*one eighth which reduces to 3/4.
