Question

There are 145 by 2 pieces of wood which need to be painted. A bucket of paint is enough for 45 by 6 pieces of wood. How many buckets of paints are required in all?

Answer 1

Answer:

No. of buckets needed= 29/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

No. of pieces of wood = 145/2

Capacity of 1 paint bucket= 45/6 pieces of wood

hence,

No. of buckets required= (No. of pieces of wood)/(Capacity of 1 paint bucket)

->No. of buckets required= (145/2)/(45/6)

= 29/3

= 9 2/3 (Answer)

p.s: If the given no. of pieces of wood were 135/2 then the answer would be exact 9.
