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?
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.
