Given:

A person can paint 2.5 ft2 of a wall in 5 minutes.

Time available = 6 hours

Formula used:

Area painted per minute = person can paint / given time

Total area painted = Area painted per minute × Total minutes available

Calculation:

Area painted per minute = 2.5 / 5 = 0.5 

Total minutes available = 6 × 60 = 360 minutes

⇒ Total area painted = 0.5 ft2/min × 360 min

⇒ Total area painted = 180 ft2

∴ The correct answer is option (4).
