Question

If a large marshmallow has a volume of 2.25 in3 and density of 0.242 g/cm3, how much would it weigh in grams? 1 in3=16.39 cm3.

Answer 1

Given the volume of marshmallow =
`2.25 in^(3)`

Density of marshmallow =
`0.242(g)/(cm^(3) )`

Converting volume from
`in^(3) to cm^(3)`:

`2.25 in^(3) * (16.39 cm^(3) )/(1 in^(3) )  =36.8775 cm^(3)`

Calculating the mass from volume and density:

`36.8775 cm^(3) * (0.242 g)/(cm^(3) ) = 8.92 g`

Therefore, the mass of marshmallow is 8.92 g
