Final answer:
The rally poster is 48 inches wide and 24 inches long. The area of the poster is 1152 square inches. We need to convert the area to square feet to determine the coverage needed for the glitter.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks about covering a rally poster with glitter. The poster is a rectangle that is 48 inches wide and 24 inches long.
To find the area of the poster, we multiply the length (24 inches) by the width (48 inches): 24 * 48 = 1152 square inches.
Since the coverage of each tube of glitter is measured in square feet, we need to convert the area from square inches to square feet. There are 12 inches in a foot, so we divide the area by 144 (12*12) to get the area in square feet: 1152 / 144 = 8 square feet.
Therefore, the statement is false because the area that needs to be covered with glitter is 8 square feet, not the exact coverage measurement given by the glitter tube.
