To find the number of bricks that can be painted out of the container, we need to calculate the total area of one brick and then divide the total area of the container by the area of one brick.

The area of one brick can be calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height of the brick: Area of one brick = 11.5 cm * 10 cm * 16 cm

Since the dimensions are given in centimeters, we need to convert the area to square meters: Area of one brick = (11.5 cm * 0.01 m/cm) * (10 cm * 0.01 m/cm) * (16 cm * 0.01 m/cm)

Now we can calculate the area of one brick in square meters: Area of one brick = 0.115 m * 0.1 m * 0.16 m = 0.00184 m²

To find the number of bricks that can be painted out of the container, we divide the total area of the container by the area of one brick: Number of bricks = 14.64 m² / 0.00184 m² = 8000 bricks

Therefore, the right answer is 8000 bricks, not 30,000 bricks.
