Question

Carla has 1 gallon of paint. She is going to pour it into a paint tray that measures 10 inches wide, 10 inches long, and 7 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 44.59 in3.

The paint will not fill the tray by 469 cm3.

The paint will fill the tray exactly.

The paint will overfill the tray by 44.59 in3

Answer 1

Okay so first we need to find the volume of the tray in terms of cubic inches which they refer to as in^3.

Volume is the length multiplied by the width multiplied by the height. So we need to convert the height (7cm deep) into inches first.

Answer 2

Its the last one.
