Question

A virus has a volume of approximately 4.7 x 10−14 cubic centimeters. calculate the estimated volume of 4.1 x 1016 viruses.

Answer 1

A virus has a volume of about 4.7 x 10⁻¹⁴ cm³

Therefore 4.1 x 10¹⁶ viruses have a volume of
(4.7 x 10⁻¹⁴)(4.1 x 10¹⁶) = 1927 cm³

Answer: 1927 cm³

Answer 2

Answer: 1927 cubic centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation: to solve this problem we need to multiply the volumeof one virus, by the number of viruses, in this way we will obtain the estimated total volume:

TV (total volume)=V(volume of one virus)*n(number of viruses)

`TV=4.7*10^(-14) *4.1*10^(16)`

to solve this, we can multiply 4.7 by 4.1 and then multiply it by the product of 10^-14 by 10^16:

TV=
`19.27*10^(-14)*10^(16)`

`TV=19.27*10^(2)`

TV=1927cm^3
