    Lyana will need 4 cans of paint to paint her whole room or only 3 if she doesn't paint the floor.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Firstly we need to know how much paint she will need to use.

    The area of her room is given by 2 (ac+bc), where a is the length, b is the width and c is the height.

    Applying that we get that the area of her room is 2*12*18+2*18*8=720.

    This applies if we assume that she also paints the floor. If she doesn't we need to subtract the area of the floor which is 12*18=216. So 720-216=504

    She will paint her room twice she the amount of paint she needs is twice the area:

    720*2=1440

    or if she does not paint the floor

    504*2=1008

    Now we answer how many cans is that by dividing by 400 and rounding up.

    1440/400=3.6 she needs, therefore, 4 cans

    1008/400=2.52 she needs 3 cans

    2 cans to cover the room but she will have a lot of paint left over

    Step-by-step explanation:

    12*18=216

    the area of her room is 216 square ft.

    216*2=432

    she will need 2 cans
