A partly full paint can has 0.67 US. gallons of paint left in it.

If all the remaining paint is used to coat a wall evenly(wall area=13 m^2), how thick is the layer of wet paint? Give your answer in meters.

Please explain it with all the details, thanks!

3.785 x10-3m3 1 U.S. Gallon Volume 0.67 U.S. Gallons x 2.54 x 10-3m3

Volume - 2.5 x 10-3m3

Volume 2.5 x 10-3m3 (Height) - 13 m21.92 x 10-4nm Area

Thickness - 1.9 x 10-4m
