Question

Arella needs to paint a board that is 2 meters wide and 3 meters tall. If 1 cup of paint will cover 1000 square cm , how many cups of paint will Arella need

Answer 1

So you basically convert them to the same measurement so 2meters is 200cm and 3meters is 300cm.
You then do 200cm x 300cm which is 60,000 after that you do 60,000 / 1000 which then gives you the answers which is 60

Answer 2

Arella need = 60 cup of paint.

Explanation:

Given: Arella needs to paint a board that is 2 meters wide and 3 meters tall. If 1 cup of paint will cover 1000 square cm.

To find:How many cups of paint will Arella need.

Solution: We have given that width of board is =2 meter.

Length = 3 meter.

1 meter= 100 cm

width of board is =200 centimeter.

Length = 300 centimeter.

Area of board = 200 * 300 = 60000 square centimeter.

1000 square cm covers by = 1 cup.

60000 square cm covers by =
`(60000)/(1000)`.

Arella need = 60 cup of paint.

Therefore, Arella need = 60 cup of paint.
