see,40+40=80 sq.m area is to be covered...and one wallpaper is of area 5=10*0.5...so 80/5=16 wallpapers are needed :)

4 x 8= 40 then add 40 more for the other wall

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did this already io was jus here to see if she would understand what she was saying =) but she did a good job exceot the 4*8 but that was a common mistake but good job

hartnn (hartnn):

but height is 5 and 5*8 is indeed 40!!! :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol cemantha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait i didnt see that . hold on one sec bc my old problem had 4 instead of 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is 16 and i'll explain . huneya mistakingly put 4 instead of 5 for 4*8 its really 5*8 which is 40 and so 40 + 40 = 80 ; 80/5= 16 so the correct answer is 16 jc im sorry i didnt read yur question correctly

OpenStudy (anonymous):
