Question

Jane wants to paint the ceiling of her restaurant. The ceiling is in the shape of a square. Its side lengths are 55 feet. Suppose each can of paint will cover 275 square feet. How many cans will she need to paint the ceiling?

Answer 1

ii'

Answer 2

The area of the ceiling is 55 * 55 = <<55*55=3025>>3025 square feet.
Jane will need 3025 / 275 = <<3025/275=11>>11 cans of paint. Answer: \boxed{11}.

Answer 3

I apologize for the confusion. To find the number of cans of paint Jane will need, we need to calculate the area of the ceiling and divide it by the coverage of each can of paint.

The area of the ceiling is equal to the side length of the square squared, so it is 55 * 55 = 3025 square feet.

Since each can of paint can cover 275 square feet, Jane will need 3025 / 275 = 11 cans of paint. Answer: \boxed{11}.
