A diagram represents a model of a ramp the skateboard Club wants to create at the neighborhood skatepark 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 how many pints of paint the skateboard Club will need to purchase, we first need to calculate the total area that needs to be painted on the ramp.

Let's assume the diagram shows a ramp with dimensions 10 feet in length and 4 feet in width. To find the area, we multiply the length by the width:

Area = Length x Width
Area = 10 ft x 4 ft
Area = 40 square feet

Since there are 144 square inches in 1 square foot, we can convert the area into square inches by multiplying by 144:

Area = 40 sq. ft x 144 sq. in/sq. ft
Area = 5,760 square inches

Now, we can calculate how many pints of paint are needed by dividing the total area by the coverage of one pint of paint:

Number of pints = Total area / Coverage per pint
Number of pints = 5,760 sq. in / 200 sq. in per pint
Number of pints = 28.8 pints

Since paint is only sold in whole pints, the skateboard Club will need to purchase 29 pints of paint to cover the entire ramp.
