## anonymous 5 years ago 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?

1. anonymous

the big statue is 29 times larger and needs 2 coconuts

2. anonymous

or 2 * 29 coconuts

3. anonymous

i mean 1 * 29. It's one coconut for every 2 feet

4. anonymous

so what the proposition of this...

5. anonymous

the answer is 29 coconuts needed to fill up the entire surface of the statue

6. anonymous

like how..

7. anonymous

do u got 29 coconuts

8. 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

9. anonymous

so u divide from 58/2 then got 29 right

10. anonymous
