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 in3, 1 inch = 2.54 cm)

Which of the following scenarios will happen?

The paint will not fill the tray by 441 cm3.

The paint will not fill the tray by 10.53 in3.

The paint will fill the tray exactly.

The paint will overfill the tray by 10.53 in3.

Answer 1

assuming in3 stands for inches

The paint will overfill the tray by 10.53 in3.

Answer 2

You can find the volume of the tray by first converting your measurements to the appropriate units which would be beneficial if you have them in inches since you know that:
\[1 gallon = 231inch^3\]

After you know the volume of the tray you can compare it to the 1 gallon to see if it is smaller or larger.
