The number of gallons of paint used to cover the insides of the wall of the room is calculated by dividing the number of gallons used for 4.2 rooms. 

This is as follows,

                   n = 3.36 gallons / 4.2 rooms

Simplifying,

                   n = 0.8 gallon/room

The answer to this item is A.
