(a) 1.27 gallon of paint covers the wall area of 13.2 ft long and 14.5 ft wide. How thick is the paint in mm?
(b) The contents of one 40-lb bag of topsoil can cover 10.0 square feet of ground to a depth of 1.00 in. How many bags are needed to cover a plot that measures 247.98 meters by 170.00 meters to a depth of 4.0000 cm?
(c) The Deepwater Horizon oil rig located off the coast of Louisiana exploded on April 20, 2010, killing 11 workers and triggering a massive oil spill from the ruptured well. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration estimated that about 3.00 gallons of crude oil began spilling into the Gulf of Mexico per second. The first traces of color from an oil slick on the surface of the water appear when the film reaches a thickness of 0.000150 mm and a dark sheet appears once the thickness grows to 0.00200 mm. How many days would it take the ruptured oil well to produce a dark sheet the size of Louisiana (51885 mi2)?
