43*36=1548 1548:172=9

Jonathan Rubio · Answer 2

Answer: It would be 9 cans

Step-by-step explanation: First you take the 43 and the 36 or length*width and you multiply them together equaling 1548. After that you take the 172 square feet of wood stain and divide that with the 1548. After doing that you get 9. It would take 9 cans to cover the court.

Equation: 43*36/172=9 Cans
