Eric is painting & wooden cylinders. Each cylinder has a radius of 6.2 inches and a

height of 12.4 inches. Eric can paint 50 square inches of wood using one pint of paint.
How much paint will Eric need to paint all the wooden cylinders?

Is this for 8 cylinders? Question is unclear.

Surface Area = 6.2 x 12.4 = 76.88 sq in
76.88 x 8 cylinders = 615 sq in
615 / 50 sq in per can paint = 12.3 cans of paint
