A gallon of stain is enough to cover 200 square feet of decking. Bradley has two areas of decking he would like to cover with stain. One rectangular area is 23 feet by 10.4 feet, and the other is 10.5 feet by 7.2 feet. Which expression gives the number of gallons of stain Bradley will need?
Left-bracket (23) (10.5) + (10.4) (7.2) right-bracket divided by 200
Left-bracket (23) (10.4) + (10.5) (7.2) right-bracket divided by 200
Left-bracket (23) (10.5) + (10.4) (7.2) right-bracket times 200
Left-bracket (23) (10.4) + (10.5) (7.2) right-bracket times 200

The expression that we need to get is:

[tex]N = \frac{(23)*(10.4) + (10.5)*(7.2)}{200}[/tex]

So the correct option is the second one.

Which expression gives the number of gallons of stain Bradley will need?

We know that 1 gallon is enough to cover 200 ft².

We have two rectangular areas, one of:

23 feet by 10.4 feet, and other of 10.5 feet by 7.2 feet.

Then the total area is:

A = (23 ft)*(10.4 ft) + (10.5ft)*(7.2 ft)

The number of gallons needed is given by the quotient between the area that we want to cover, and the area that covers one gallon, so the expression is:

[tex]N = \frac{(23ft)*(10.4ft) + (10.5ft)*(7.2ft)}{200ft^2} \\\\N = \frac{(23)*(10.4) + (10.5)*(7.2)}{200}[/tex]

So the corerect option is the second one.
