Question

Gina was given an irregularly shaped piece of metal and was told that the density of the metal was 10 g/cm3. She measured the mass of the piece to be 270 g. What was the volume of the piece of metal Gina was given ?

Answer 1

26cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Density is equal to mass per unit volume. In mathematical form, this is...

Density = Mass ÷ Volume

If we rearrange the formula to solve for the unknown volume, we have...

Volume = Density ÷ Mass

Finally, using the density and mass given, we have...

Volume = (312 g) ÷ (12 g/cm3) = 26 cm3

Answer 2

Mass divided by volume equals density :)
