Question

A loaf of bread (volume 3100 cm3) with a density of 0.90 g/cm3 is crushed in the bottom of the grocery bag into a volume of 1240 cm3. What is the density of the mashed bread? . g/cm3

Answer 1

2,25 g/cm3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, you have to know one thing for this.. Density = mass/Volume,

When you have the loaf of bread with 3100 cm3 and a density of 0.90 g/cm3, the mass of that bread is 2790 g because of if you isolate the variable mass from the equation you get.. mass= density x volume

Later, have on account the mass never changes, so you crush the bread and the mass is the same.. so when you have the mashed bread.. you know that the mass is 2790 g and the volume of the bag is 1240 cm3, so you apply the main equation.... density=2790 g / 1240 cm3 , so density = 2,25 g/cm3
