Question

If Marsha needs 215.6 sq. ft.covered. And if the laminate is sold in cartons that cover 25sq. ft., how many cartons should Marsha buy?

Answer 1

Hello!

To find how many cartons Marsha should buy, we can make a division, look:

`(215.6)/(25)=8.624`

As it is impossible to buy 0.624 cartons, we have to round it.

So, Marsha should buy 9 cartons.
