if 1 500ml tin of lacquer can cover 16 metres square, how many table tops can it do if your table tops are 1200m x 900m)

Question

please i need a answers as soon as possible

Answer 1

1 tin covers 16 m²

each table top is 1200 m x 900 m or 1080000 square meters: are you sure the units on the table tops are correct cause that is a big table? I am guessing that the units are mm and not meters which will give 1080000 sq meters /1000/1000 or 1.08 m²

 

regardless of the measurement the method is the same.

1. find area of table       as above which equals 1.08 sq meters

2 divide area of table by area of coverage to find number of tables

 

16/1.08 = 14.8 or 14 whole table tops
