Question

A 380-Cubic-Centimeter sample of titanium has a mass of 1710 grams. Find the weight of a titanium sample that has a volume of 532 cubic centimeters. Find the proportion.

Answer 1

The answer is 2,394

Explanation:

If you take 1,710 and then divide by 380 you get the origin number 4.5

then take 4.5 and multiply by 532 you get the answer 2,394

(math problem)

1,710 ÷ 380 = 4.5

4.5 x 532 = 2,394 (grams)

Answer 2

Proportion says that two ratios (or fractions) are equal.

If
`380\ cm^3` has a mass of 1710 grams and
`532\ cm^3` has unknown mass of x grams, then you can write it as

`380\ cm^3` - 1710 grams,

`532\ cm^3` - x grams.

Mathematically this means:

`(380)/(532)=(1710)/(x).`

Find x:

`x=(532\cdot 1710)/(380)=2394` grams.

Answer: 2394 grams.
