A Tennis match was delayed because of rain. The Officials were not prepared for the delay. They covered the 25ft by 20ft court with 13ft by 10ft plastic covers. How many plastic covers were needed to cover the court from the rain?

Respuesta :

1. Length of court: 25ft

2. Width of court: 20ft

3. Size of plastic cover: 13ft by 10ft

To cover the court, we need to see how many covers fit along each dimension.

Along the length:

Number of covers = 25ft/13ft

Rounding up to the nearest whole number, we get 2 covers along the length.

Along the width:

Number of covers= 20ft/10ft = 2

So, we need 2 covers along the width.

Total number of covers needed:

Total number of covers = 2 × 2 = 4

Thus, 4 plastic covers are needed to cover the court from the rain.
