Question

The density of oak wood is about 0.75 g/cm3. This density is 0.41 more than half the density of sugar maple wood. What is the density of sugar maple wood

Answer 1

The density of sugar maple wood is 0.34 g/cm³.

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of oak wood is 0.75 g/cm³. Let's assume the density of sugar maple wood is x g/cm³. According to the given information, the density of oak wood is 0.41 more than half of the density of sugar maple wood. So we can write the equation as:

0.75 g/cm³ = (1/2)x g/cm³ + 0.41 g/cm³

Simplifying the equation, we get:

x g/cm³ = 0.75 g/cm³ - 0.41 g/cm³

x g/cm³ = 0.34 g/cm³

Therefore, the density of sugar maple wood is 0.34 g/cm³.

Answer 2

There are 3 parts to this problem:

1- let x be=the density of the sugar maple wood
2- the equation is .75=.5x+.41
3- the density of the sugar maple wood is .68.

Don't worry, I just did this problem so this would be correct. :)
