Question

10 ptQuestion 10A can of soup has a volume of 80 in and mass of 10 ounces. A can of tuna has a volume of 56 in and mass of 8ounces. About how much less is the density of the soup than the tuna (give your answer in ounces/square inch).Round your answer to the nearest 1000th.SOUPSTUNA CHUNKSBrineLENTIL0.0179 ounces per per square inches less0.1429 ounces per per square inches less0.1250 ounces per per square inches less0.0099 ounces per per square inches less

Answer 1

We have that the general formula for the density given the volume and the mass is:

`d=(m)/(v)`

in this case, the densities for the can of soup and the can of tuna are:

`\begin{gathered} d_(soup)=(10)/(80)=(1)/(8) \\ d_(tuna)=(8)/(56)=(1)/(7) \end{gathered}`

the difference between these two densities is:

`(1)/(7)-(1)/(8)=(1)/(56)=0.0179`

therefore, there is 0.0179 less density of the soup than the tuna
