To determine how many pints of paint the skateboard club will need, we first need to calculate the total area of the ramp that requires painting.
Assuming the image you referred to provides dimensions for the ramp, let’s denote the total surface area of the ramp, when calculated, as \( A \) square inches.
Next, since one pint of paint covers 200 square inches, the number of pints of paint needed can be calculated using the formula:
\[ \text{Number of pints} = \frac{A}{200} \]
If the result of this calculation is a decimal, the club must round up to the nearest whole number, since paint is sold only in whole pints.
For example, if the area \( A \) is 450 square inches:
\[ \text{Number of pints} = \frac{450}{200} = 2.25 \]
In this case, the club would need to purchase 3 pints of paint.
Please provide the dimensions or the total area if you need a specific answer.
