Question

Alaine has 1 gallon of paint. She is going to pour it into a paint tray that measures 10 inches wide, 12 inches long, and 5 cm deep. (1 gallon = 231 in3, 1 inch = 2.54 cm) Which of the following scenarios will happen? (2 points) The paint will not fill the tray by 369 cm3. The paint will not fill the tray by 5.22 in3. The paint will fill the tray exactly. The paint will overfill the tray by 5.22 in3.

Answer 1

The paint will not fill the tray by 5.22 in³.

Explanation:

V = L × W × H

5 cm → in = 1.9685

V = 12 × 10 × 1.9685

V = 236.22 in³

Available Amount of Paint - 231 in³

236.22 in³ - 231 in³ = 5.22 in³

Hope this helps! :)
