The floor covers an area of 26 X 18 = 468 square feet, so you need
468 / 78= 6 quarts of shellac.

Area of a rectangle is length multiplied by width, in this case 26 feet x 18 feet or 468 square feet.
Since you're told that one quart of shellac covers 78 square feet, you should divide the total area by 78.
468/78 = 6
So 6 quarts of shellac are needed.

Tfhe area of a rectangle
a = lw
- - - - - - - - - -
A = lw
a = 26 x 18 = 468 square feet
One quart of shellac covers 78 square feet

Divide the area of the rectangle by the area the shellac covers.
468/78 = 6
In will take six (6) quarts of shellac to cover the rectangle floor.
