Tommy has a flag that is 5 feet wide and 4 feet tall. He wants to paint it with a new design. He knows from experience that he needs to paint both sides. Paint costs $2 a quart and a quart is good for 4 square feet. How much does he spend on paint?
How many square feet are each side? ** Each side of the flag is 20 square feet because 5 x 4 = <<5*4=20>>20
How many square feet are both sides? ** Both side total to 40 square feet because 2 x 20 = <<2*20=40>>40
How many quarts does he need? ** He will need 10 quarts because 40 / 4 = <<40/4=10>>10
How much will the paint cost? ** This will cost $20 because 10 x 2 = <<10*2=20>>20
