Answer:
6 tubes
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a parallelogram is the product of its base and height:
A = bh
A = (14 in)(9 in) = 126 in²
__
The number of tubes of paint can be found from ...
(1 tube)/(24 in²) = (n tubes)/(126 in²)
Multiplying by 126 in³, we find ...
n tubes = (126/24) tubes = 5 1/4 tubes
In order to have enough paint to paint the sign, 6 tubes of paint will be needed.
