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?

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
