Question

If one pot of paint covers an area of 5m2. How many pots will be needed to cover the floor?​

Answer 1

Answer: 2 pots

Explanation:

area of the floor = length x width

= 400 cm x 250 cm

= 100 000 cm²

5 m² = 5 x 10 000 cm² = 50 000 cm²

number of pots needed = area of floor ÷ area covered by one pot

= 100 000 cm² ÷ 50 000 cm²

= 2 pots
