Question

One gallon of paint (volume = 3.79 10-3 m3) covers an area of 17.8 m2. What is the thickness of the fresh paint on the wall?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.2129 mm

Explanation:

We have given volume of the paint = 1 gallon$=3.79\times 10^{-3}m^3$

Area that covers the paint $=17.8 m^2$

We have to find the thickness of the fresh paint

So $thickness=\frac{volume}{area}=\frac{3.79\times 10^{-3}}{17.8}=0.2129\times 10^{-3}m=0.2129mm$

So the thickness of fresh paint on the wall is 0.2129 mm
