Lines need to be painted on the field at a football stadium. The painter estimated that one can of paint would last 11 yards. How many cans of paint will be needed to paint the length of the 100-yard field?

I've been stuck on this question for two days :,) the answers are A.8 B.10 C.12 D.14





Can someone please tell me the answer?

Answer:

area = pi*24^2/4 = 452 yd^2

so that means you will need 452/59 = 7.6 (or 8) gallons
