Question

Th diagram represents a model of a ramp the skateboard club wants to create at the neighborhood skate park if one pint of paint covers 200 square inches how many pints of paint will the club need to purchase?paint is only sold in whole Pints

Answer 1

To determine the amount of paint needed, we first need to calculate the total surface area of the ramp.

The diagram of the ramp may provide dimensions (length, width, and height) for each section of the ramp. To calculate the surface area of each section, you can use the formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism: 2lw + 2lh + 2wh.

After calculating the surface area of each section, you can sum them up to get the total surface area of the entire ramp.

Once you have the total surface area in square inches, you can divide this number by 200 to determine the total number of pints of paint needed. Since paint is only sold in whole pints, you will need to round up to the nearest whole number to determine the number of pints the club needs to purchase.
