Given
Dimensions of deck = 24 by 24
dimensions of ply wood = 4 by 8
Find
Number of sheets of ply wood needed to cover the deck
Explanation
number of sheets = area of deck divided by area of 1 ply wood
so ,
area of deck =
[tex]\begin{gathered} 24\times24 \\ 576 \end{gathered}[/tex]and
area of ply wood =
[tex]\begin{gathered} 4\times8 \\ 32 \end{gathered}[/tex]so ,
number of sheets needed =
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{576}{32} \\ \\ 18 \end{gathered}[/tex]Final Answer
Hence , the required number of sheets of ply wood is 18
