Question

A bag of sand has a density of 45 g/cm3 and a mass of 15 kg. How much space does the sand take up?

A. 3 cm3
B. 675 g/cm3
C. 333 cm3

Answer 1

Volume = mass/density

Volume = 15000 g/45 g/cm3 ≈ 333.3 cm3

Answer 2

Volume of the sand bag,
`V=333. 33 cm^3`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Density of sand bag,
`d=45\ g/cm^3`

Mass of the sand bag, m = 15 kg = 15000 kg

We need to find the space taken by the sand bag. The occupied space is called the volume of the sand bag. Density is given by :

`d=(m)/(V)`

`V=(m)/(d)`

`V=(15000\ g)/(45\ g/cm^3)`

`V=333.33\ cm^3`

or

`V=333.33\ cm^3`

So, the volume of the sand bag is
`V=333.33\ cm^3`. Hence, this is the required solution.
