Question

Raina is staining the wooden floor of a court. The court is in the shape of a rectangle. Its length is 46 feet and its width is 35 feet. Suppose each can of wood stain covers 115 square feet. How many cans will she need to cover the court?

Answer 1

She would need 14 cans of paint cuz you find the area then divide by 115

Answer 2

Answer:

Raina will need 14 cans to stain the wooden floor of a court.

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the numbe of cans that Raina will need, we must calculate the court's floor surface, as the court has a shape of a rectangle:

S=w*l

Being w (46 ft) and l the width (35 ft) and the length respectively:

S=35 ft * 46 ft = 1610 square ft

Then by dividing the surface S by the area Ac (115 square ft)of each can, we will obtain the number of cans n:

n = S/Ac

n = 1610 square ft / 115 square ft = 14
