In this case, one can of paint can covers an area of 400 square units. You are asked how much cans needed to cover an area of 2,200 square units.
Then you just need to divide 2,200 square units with 400 square units.
The equation will be : (2,200 square units / 400 square units) x 1 can= 4.5 cans
After you round up the result it would be 5 cans.
Answer: 5 cans
