Tobias is helping his uncle paint the side of a barn. Each can of paint covers 80 square feet. If the side of the barn is 10 feet high and 15 feet wide, how many cans of paint will Tobias need?
10 * 15 = 150 square feet
150 / 80 = 1.875 cans
Jameson has a storage bin that is the shape of a cube for his building blocks. If one side of the cube measures 2 feet, how many cubic feet of space does he have for storage?
2 * 2 * 2 = __________ cubic feet
To find out how many cans of paint Tobias will need, we first need to calculate the total area of the side of the barn.
The area of a rectangle can be found by multiplying its length by its width.
In this case, the length of the side of the barn is 10 feet and the width is 15 feet.
Area = Length x Width
Area = 10 feet x 15 feet
Area = 150 square feet
Now, since each can of paint covers 80 square feet, we can find out how many cans of paint Tobias will need by dividing the total area of the barn side by the coverage of one can.
Number of cans of paint = Total area ÷ Coverage per can
Number of cans of paint = 150 square feet ÷ 80 square feet
Number of cans of paint ≈ 1.875 cans
Since Tobias cannot buy fractional cans of paint, he will need to round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Tobias will need 2 cans of paint to cover the entire side of the barn.
