The information on a one-gallon paint can is that the coverage, when properly applied, is 440 ft2. One gallon is 231 in3. What is the average thickness of the paint in such an application

Respuesta :

Answer:

t= 0.00364 in

Explanation:

Given that

The volume of the paint ,V= 231 in³

The surface area ,A = 440 ft²

We know that

1 ft  = 12 in

That is why

A= 440 x 12 x 12 in²

A= 63360 in²

Lets take the thickness of the paint = t in

We know that

V= A t

[tex]t=\dfrac{V}{A}[/tex]

[tex]t=\dfrac{231}{63360}\ in[/tex]

t= 0.00364 in

Therefore the thickness ,t= 0.00364 in
