Question

The dashed lane markers on an interstate highway are 2.5 ft long and 4.0 in. wide. One (1.0) qt of paint covers 43 ft2. How many dashed lane markers can be painted with 11 gal of paint?

Answer 1

11 gal = 44 qt

which will cover

44 x 43 ft² = 1892 ft²

each marker is 2.5 ft x 0.333 ft = 0.833 ft²

1892 ft² / 0.833 ft² = 2270 markers
