Zybook - paint challenge python

Question

Scenario: Finish the program to compute how many gallons of paint are needed to cover the given square feet of walls. Assume 1 gallon can cover 350.0 square feet. So gallons = the square feet divided by 350.0. If the input is 250.0, the output should be: 0.714285714286 ____________________________________-

gallons_paint = 0.0

wall_area = float(input())

# Assign gallons_paint below

''' Your solution goes here '''

print(gallons_paint)

---

I've been trying different combinations and I can't figure out how to get the float right. Any help would be appreciated! :)

Answer 1

Assuming wall_area is a floating point number, it's simple:

gallons_paint = wall_area / 350
