A model of a ramp the skateboard is 6 by 8 by 10 by 19. One pint of can covers 200 sq inches, how many pints needed

Answer 1

First, let's calculate the total surface area of the ramp.

To do this, we need to calculate the surface area of each of the six sides of the ramp and then add them together.

Side 1: 6 x 8 = 48 sq inches
Side 2: 6 x 10 = 60 sq inches
Side 3: 8 x 10 = 80 sq inches
Side 4: 6 x 8 = 48 sq inches
Side 5: 6 x 19 = 114 sq inches
Side 6: 8 x 19 = 152 sq inches

Total surface area = 48 + 60 + 80 + 48 + 114 + 152 = 502 sq inches

Now, we need to calculate how many pints of can are needed to cover 502 sq inches.

1 pint covers 200 sq inches, so:

502 sq inches / 200 sq inches per pint = 2.51 pints

Therefore, you will need approximately 3 pints of can to cover the entire surface of the ramp.
