How much cans of paint is needed to cover an area of 36 metres square if one can covers 25meters square.
At least 2 unless you are trying to find the exact amount
1 AND 1/2
To find out how many cans of paint are needed to cover an area of 36 square meters, you need to divide the total area by the area covered by one can.
Step 1: Determine the area covered by one can of paint. We are given that one can covers 25 square meters.
Step 2: Divide the total area by the area covered by one can.
36 square meters ÷ 25 square meters/can = 1.44 cans
Since you can't have a fraction of a can, you will need to round up to the nearest whole number. So, you would need 2 cans of paint to cover the area of 36 square meters.
