Each can of paint will cover 450 tiles. Augustin is painting 300 tiles in his bathroom, 675 tiles in his kitchen, and 100 tiles in his hallway. How many cans of paint does he need to buy?

You have to add all of the tiles that he needs painting. 675+300+100=1075. Then to figure out how many paint cans you need, divide 1075 by 450. It equals 2.388... so, you need to round up or else you will be missing some tiles. The final answer is 3 paint cans. Hope this helps

Augustin needs to buy a total of 3 cans of paint to cover 1,075 tiles. Each can covers 450 tiles, resulting in 2.39 cans required. He rounds this up to 3 cans since he cannot purchase a fraction of a can.
