Question

Billy has 1 gallon of paint. He is going to pour it into a paint tray that measures 10 inches wide, 14 inches long, and 4 cm deep.

(1 gallon = 231 in^3, 1 inch = 2.54 cm)

Which of the following scenarios will happen?

The paint will not fill the tray by 441 cm^3.

The paint will not fill the tray by 10.53 in^3.

The paint will fill the tray exactly.

The paint will overfill the tray by 10.53 in^3.

Answer 1

find the volume first

Answer 2

I just answered this elsewhere, did you delete it??

Answer 3

Volume = L x W x H

Answer 4

Like I said on the closed post:

You need to find the volume of the paint tray. How would you do that? (keeping in mind, you have inches and cm both involved - mixing apples and orange, lol - so you'll want to convert one).

Since the volume of the gallon is given in inches, it would probably makes sense to convert the depth of the tray to inches.

Answer 5

So I got a volume of 560
