The average thickness of the paint can be calculated by dividing the volume of the paint by the area it covers. The volume of one gallon is 231 cubic inches, and the coverage is 440 square feet. First, convert the coverage area to square inches (1 square foot = 144 square inches), so 440 square feet = 440 * 144 = 63,360 square inches. Then, divide the volume by the area to find the thickness: 231 cubic inches / 63,360 square inches = 0.00364583333 inches, which is approximately 3.6E-3 inches.
