How many paintings can Brian make? Enter your answer in the box.
44
To find out how many paintings Brian can make, we need to divide the total feet of canvas he has by the feet needed to make one painting.
Brian has 8 feet of canvas and he needs 14 feet to make one painting.
So, we can calculate the number of paintings as follows:
Number of paintings = Total feet of canvas / Feet needed per painting
Number of paintings = 8 feet / 14 feet
To find this value, divide 8 by 14:
Number of paintings ≈ 0.57
Since we cannot have a fraction of a painting, we must round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Brian can make 0 paintings.
