Question

How many cans of paint are needed to cover an area of 2,200 square units if one can of paint covers an area of 400 square units?

Answer 1

Answer:

6 cans

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

area one can of paint can cover = 400 units²

Total area that is need to be paint = 2200 units²

So,

400 units² = 1 can

1 units² = 1/400 can

2200 units² = 2200/400 can

                     =  5.5 can

                     ≈ 6 cans (nearest to the whole number)

Hence, number of cans that are needed to paint area of 2,200 square units

= 6 cans
