...the hull of his boat? How mush time should the fisherman allow for the painting of the hull, if the hull were composed of two sides, each 315 feet by 8.00 feet?
a. 1512.0 hours

b. 25.2 hours

c. 3024 hours

d. 50.4 hours
 
t = (2(315)(8) ft^2) / ((1 ft^2) / (6 min)) = 30240 min = 504 hr
... are you sure the boat's not 31.5 ft, in which case the answer is d?
315 ft long with an 8 ft deep hull is a pretty funny shaped boat...
