Question

Elsa is staining the wooden floor of a court. The court is in the shape of a rectangle. Its length is 43 feet and its width is 36 feet. Suppose each can of wood stain covers 172 square feet. How many cans will she need to cover the court?

Answer 1

Explanation:

find the area which is length divided by width then divide by 172 which is what each can covers. So, 43x36 =1548 and 1548/172 equals 9. So 9 is the answer

Answer 2

To find the area multiply length times width.
43 times 36 is 1548
Take 1548 divide by 172 to get the answer.
1548/172 equals 9
