The number of awards that Frankie can use to paint the front of with the paint that he has is 953. 22 awards

first, calculate the area of one circular award using its diameter.

Area = πr²

Using the diameter given, we have that;

Radius = diameter/2

substitute the value

Radius = 3.8 inches/2 = 1. 9 inches

Now, substitute the value

Area = 3.14 × (1.9)²

find the values, we get;

Area = 3.14 × 3.61

Area = 11. 33 square inches

Given that one ounce of paint covers 675 square inches of space, Frankie's 16 ounces of paint can cover:

Since 16 ounces × 675 square inches

Then x ounces = 11. 33 square inches

cross multiply the values, we have;

x = 10800/.11.33

Divide the values

x = 953. 22 awards

The complete question:

Frankie's making awards for a talent show at school the circular awards have a diameter of 3.8inches. Frankie has a pint of paint (16 ounces) if one ounce of paint covers 675 square inches of space how many awards can Frankie paint the front of with the paint that he has
