Given:

The wall is 13 ft. by 19 ft.

A sheet of drywall measures 6ft. by 5 ft.

Required:

We need to find the number of the drywall sheet needed to cover the wall.

Explanation:

Multiply 13 and 19 to find the area of the wall.

[tex]The\text{ area of the wall = 13}\times19=247\text{ ft}^2[/tex]

Multiply 6 and 5 to find the area of the drywall.

[tex]\text{The area of the drywall =6}\times5=30ft^2[/tex]

Divide the area of the wall by the area of the drywall to find the number of the drywall sheet needed to cover the wall.

[tex]T\text{he number of the drywall sheet needed to cover the wall =}\frac{247}{30}=8.23[/tex]

Teddy needs 8 sheets of drywall to cover the wall.
