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. @brookew41

Answer 1

To determine the correct statement in the choices presented, we first have to solve the area of the tray. We assume it to be in a rectangular form so the area is:

Area = 10 in x 10 in x 7/2.54 in = 275.59 in³ for the paint tray
1 gallon paint = 231 in³ paint

Therefore, the correct answer is the first option. The paint will not fill the tray by 44.59 in³.

Answer 2

Your answer is A.) The paint will not fill the tray by 44.59 in3
