Getting the AREA of an OIL SPILL

Question

How much area in $m^2$ will $200 cm^3$ of oil cover if it forms a layer of $35mm$ thick?

i dont know what formula i will be using, my teacher never discussed this and i cant seem to find any on the internet, thanks.

Answer 1

Hints:

• For a cylinder or prism, volume is base area multiplied by height
• This implies base area would be volume divided by height
• These calculations are often easier if you use the same base unit throughout (except in the land of the acre-foot)
