Below is a 58-foot statue of Bahubali, in Sravanabelagola, India. Every 12 years, worshipers of the Jain religion bathe the statue with coconut milk. Suppose the milk of one coconut is just enough to cover the surface of the similar 2-foot statuette shown at right. How many coconuts would be required to cover the surface of the full-size statue?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the big statue is 29 times larger and needs 2 coconuts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or 2 * 29 coconuts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean 1 * 29. It's one coconut for every 2 feet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what the proposition of this...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is 29 coconuts needed to fill up the entire surface of the statue

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like how..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do u got 29 coconuts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since every coconut can cover the 2 -foot statue , it is necessary to have 29 coconuts to basically, cover \[ 29 \times 2 = 58 \] foot statue

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so u divide from 58/2 then got 29 right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):
