Question 770981: How many pieces of strips that are 12 ft by 6 in. is needed to cover an area 600 squaare feet
Answer by Cromlix(4381) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
6 inches = 0.5ft
Area of strips = 12 * 0.5 ft^2
= 6ft^2
Area to be covered = 600ft^2
600/6 = 100
100 strips required.
Hope this helps.
