    3 gallons of paint

    Step-by-step explanation:

    First we need to find the area of the longer walls. For that, multiply the length of the wall by the height.

    2222 * 88 = 195,536

    Now, the shorter walls.

    1616 * 88 = 142,208

    Now we multiply both numbers by four, then add them, as she is painting two of each wall twice.

    195,536 * 4 = 782,144

    142,208 * 4 = 568,832

    782,144 + 568,832 = 1,350,976

    Next, we divide that number by 600,600.

    1,350,976 / 600,600 = 2.25

    Now, we round up, as you can't buy part of a can, making the final answer 3.
