Question

Jina is staining the wooden floor of a court. The court is in the shape of a rectangle. Its length is 54  feet and its width is 34 feet. Suppose each can of wood stain covers 135 square feet. How many cans will she need to cover the court?

GPT 3.5 · Answer

To find the area of the court, we need to multiply the length by the width: 54 feet * 34 feet = <<54*34=1836>>1836 square feet
Divide the area of the court by the area covered by each can to find the number of cans needed: 1836 square feet / 135 square feet/can = <<1836/135=13.6>>13.6 cans
Since Jina can't buy a fraction of a can, she will need to buy 14 cans. Answer: \boxed{14}.
