To find the area of the court, we multiply the length by the width:
Area = length x width = 30 feet x 20 feet = 600 square feet
Since each can of wood stain covers 50 square feet, we divide the total area by the area covered by one can:
600 square feet / 50 square feet = 12 cans
Jina will need 12 cans of wood stain to cover the court.
Jina is staining the wooden floor of a court. The court is in the shape of a rectangle. Its length is feet and its width is feet. Suppose each can of wood stain covers square feet. How many cans will she need to cover the court?
