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 in\(^3\), 1 inch = 2.54 cm)
Answer (2)
1 in = 2.54 c m ⇒ 1 c m = 2.54 1 in ⇒ 5 c m = 2.54 5 in 10 in ⋅ 12 in ⋅ 5 c m = 120 ⋅ 2.54 5 i n 3 ≈ 283.5 i n 3 1 g a ll o n = 231 i n 3 < 283.5 i n 3 A n s . 1 g a ll o n o f p ain t w i ll f i t in t h e p ain t t r a y .
Alaine's 1 gallon of paint (231 in³) will fit into the paint tray. The calculated volume of the tray is approximately 236.4 in³, which is larger than the volume of the paint. Therefore, she can pour all of the paint into the tray without any issue.
