Answer:
40.7465 [tex]ft^2[/tex]
Explanation:
The first step for solving this problem is to convert the units from gallons to cubic feet and from millimeters to cubic feet:
1 gallon = 0.133681 cubic feet
10 mm = 0.001 m = 0.0032808 ft
The second step is to divide the volume (the gallon of paint) by the coat thickness. This returns the area.
[tex]A = \frac{Volume}{thickness}=\frac{0.133681ft^3}{0.0032808ft}=40.7465 ft^2[/tex]
This is the approximate area that the gallon of paint will be able to cover.
