If it takes 25 rolls of wallpaper to cover 662 sq. ft., how much wallpaper rolls does it take to cover 59 ft.?

59 sq ft?

 

 

Let's find the unit rate of rolls to square feet. 

 

662/25 = 26.48

 

so, each roll can cover that many square feet. Now, divide 59 by 26.48

 

59/26.48 = 2.2280966767371601

 

Since you can't have a quarter of a roll, round up to 3 rolls.

 

You will need 3 rolls of wallpaper to cover 59 square feet of a wall.

To figure this out divide 662 by 25 to get the sq. ft per roll then you would get 26.48 Times that by 2 to get 59.96 which would be 3 rolls.
