Answer:

The paint will not fill the tray by 10.53 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will find the volume of the paint tray and compare it with the volume of the gallon.

Given dimensions are:

Length = 14 inches

Width = 10 inches

Depth = 4 cm or [tex]\frac{4}{2.54}=1.575[/tex] inches

The volume is given by = length x width x depth

Volume = [tex]14\times10\times1.575=220.50[/tex] cubic inches

Volume of 1 gallon is given as = 231 cubic inches

We can see that volume of 1 gallon is more than volume of tray.

Difference = [tex]231-220.50=10.5[/tex] cubic inches.

So, the paint will not fill the tray by 10.53 cubic inches.
