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?
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}.
To find out how many cans Jina will need to cover the court, we need to calculate the total area of the court and divide it by the coverage area of one can of wood stain.
The area of a rectangle is given by the formula:
Area = Length * Width
Given that the length of the court is 54 feet and the width is 34 feet, we can calculate the area of the court:
Area = 54 feet * 34 feet
Area = 1836 square feet
Now, we need to divide the total area of the court by the coverage area of one can of wood stain, which is 135 square feet:
Number of cans = Area of court / Coverage area per can
Number of cans = 1836 square feet / 135 square feet
Now, let's calculate this:
Number of cans = 13.6
Since we cannot have a fraction of a can, we need to round it up to the next whole number:
Number of cans = 14
Therefore, Jina will need 14 cans of wood stain to cover the court.
