Question

Billy has 1 gallon of paint he’s going to pour it into a paint tray that measures 10 inches wide 14 inches long and 4 cm deep which of the following scenarios would happen

Answer 1

Lets see if the gallon fill the paint tray or not.

For that purpose we need to find out the volume of the paint tray and compare it with the volume of the gallon.

Given:

Length = 14 inches

Width = 10 inches

Depth = 4 cm = 1.57 inches

Volume = length x width x depth

Volume = 14 x 10 x 1.57

= 220.47 inches cube

Volume of Gallon = 231 inches cube

Comparing the two volumes:

231 inches cube - 220.47 inches cube = 10.52 inches cube

Hence,

The paint will not fill the tray by 10.53 in3.
