Hailey bought a can of stain. The stain will cover 50 m2 of fencing. The fence has height 2 m. What length of fencing can Hailey stain before she runs out of stain? How did you find out?

The length of the fencing can Hailey stain before she runs out of stain is 25 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the area of a rectangle is A = l × h, where l is its length and h is its height

∵ Hailey bought a can of stain which will cover 50 m²

- That means the area that the stain can cover is 50 m²

∴ The area of fencing can cover by the stain = 50 m²

∴ A = 50

∵ The height of the fence = 2 m

∴ h = 2

- Substitute the value of A and h in the formula of the area

∵ 50 = l × 2

∴ 50 = 2 l

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ 25 = l

∴ The length of the fence that the stain can cover = 25 m

The length of the fencing can Hailey stain before she runs out of stain is 25 m
