Complete Question
If a logo has dimensions of 6 ft and 11ft, he needs a quart of paint for every 22 square ft. How many quarts will he need for the whole logo?
Answer:
3 quarts of paint
Explanation:
The Logo is rectangular in shape, hence:
The area of a rectangle = Length × Width
The logo has dimensions of 6 ft and 11ft.
Area of the Logo = 6ft × 11ft = 66ft²
He needs a quart of paint for every 22 square ft
Hence:
22 ft² = 1 quart of paint
66ft² = x
Cross Multiply
22 ft² × x = 66 ft² × 1 quart
x = 66 ft² × 1 quart/22 ft²
x = 3 quarts of paint
Therefore, he will need 3 quarts of paint for the whole logo.
