How much time should it take to paint a gallon of paint?

I am having the interior of my house painted and received several bids; one a flat bid, and two at an hourly rate. I am just having the walls done and I was told that I would need approx. 8 gallons of paint to do two coats on 4 average size bedrooms. Thanks!

    Without knowing how many windows, doors or other things there are to cut in around its a little hard to guess. Cutting and rolling the walls of a bedroom usually takes me 2-3 hours for 1 coat. To do the whole interior (ceiling, walls and trim) I usually plan on $650 per room.
