Question

How4 x 8 sheet ofmanyply wood do you need tocover a 24 x 24 deck?

Answer 1

Given

Dimensions of deck = 24 by 24

dimensions of ply wood = 4 by 8

Find

Number of sheets of ply wood needed to cover the deck

Step-by-step explanation

number of sheets = area of deck divided by area of 1 ply wood

so ,

area of deck =

`\begin{gathered} 24*24 \\ 576 \end{gathered}`

and

area of ply wood =

`\begin{gathered} 4*8 \\ 32 \end{gathered}`

so ,

number of sheets needed =

`\begin{gathered} (576)/(32) \\ \\ 18 \end{gathered}`

Final Answer

Hence , the required number of sheets of ply wood is 18
