Jamie wants to wrap a rectangular sheet of paper completely around casts that are 8 1/2inch high and 4inch in diameter.
Side area of each can:: 8.5*pi*4 = 34pi sq in
----------------------------------------------------
She can buy a roll of paper that is 8 1/2 inch wide and 60 ft.long. How many cans will this much paper wrap
Area of roll:: 8.5*60*12 sq. in
-----
Ans: # of cans = (8.5*60*12)/(8.5*4pi) = 57.3
----
Rounding down you get 57 cans
