Question

The cup is a measure of volume widely used in cook-books. One cup is equivalent to 225mL. What is the density of clover honey (in grams per milliliter) if three quarters is a cup has a mass of 252g ?

Answer 1

Answer: The density of clover honey is, 1.493 g/ml

Explanation :

First we have to determine the volume of three quarters.

`\text{volume of three quarters}=(3)/(4)* 225ml=168.75ml`

Now we have to determine the density of clover honey.

Density : It is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

Formula used :

`Density=(Mass)/(Volume)`

Given :

Mass = 252 g

Volume = 168.75 ml

Now put all the given values in the formula, we get:

`Density=(252g)/(168.75ml)`

`Density=1.493g/ml`

Therefore, the density of clover honey is, 1.493 g/ml

Answer 2

1.49 g/mL

Step 1. Calculate the volume of ¾ cup

Volume = ¾ cup × (225 mL/1 cup) = 168.8 mL

Step 2. Calculate the density of the honey

Density = mass/volume = 252 g/168.8 mL = 1.49 g/mL
