Because there are so many different values of numbers, it would be impractical to use 1Ω, 2Ω, 3Ω... etc... Using colored bands helps make reading it a little easier to the trained eye. There are hundreds of thousands, if not tens of millions of different resistors would need to exist to cover every value. So you just use something called "preferred values" with their resistance values posted on them instead.
Answer:
440mt/p gallons
Explanation:
We are told that one gallon of paint covers an area of p square feet. Knowing this then, the question becomes how much paint is needed to cover a stripe that is t inches wide and m miles long.
Let us first use the dimensions of the stripe to find how much area that is in square feet. A stripe is rectangular so we will calculate the area as follows:
Area of stripe = width x length
= t inches x m miles (we need to convert both to feet)
= (t inches x 1 ft/12 inches) x (m miles x 5280 ft/1 mi)
=440mt square feet
ow we can find out how much paint will be needed by using ratios
p square feet : 1 gallon
440mt square feet : x
x = 440mt/p gallons
