Answer:

1.8 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume, you need to multiply the given mass by the density. Density can serve as a conversion between mass (kg) and volume (m³) because it is a ratio which represents the mass (kg) of a piece of wood per every 1 m³. It is important to arrange this ratio in a way that allows for the cancellation of units (kg should be in the denominator to cancel the units of the given mass). The final answer should have 2 sig figs like the given mass (1.5 = 2 sig figs).

Denisty: 0.82 kg/m³

1.5 kg 1 m³
--------------- x -------------------- = 1.8 m³
0.82 kg
