Answer 2

Answer: There are approximately 11 buckets of paint are required in all.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of pieces of wood which need to be repainted with blue color = $65\frac{1}{2}=\frac{131}{2}$

Number of pieces  of wood can be painted within a bucket of paint = $5\frac{3}{4}=\frac{23}{4}$

So, Number of buckets of paint are required in all is given by

$\dfrac{\text{Number of pieces of wood need to be repainted}}{\text{Number of pieces can be painted by a bucket}}\\\\\\=\dfrac{\dfrac{131}{2}}{\dfrac{23}{4}}\\\\\\=\dfrac{131\times 4}{23\times 2}\\\\=11.39\\\\\approx 11$

Hence, there are approximately 11 buckets of paint are required in all.
