Question

A large emerald with a mass of 764.3 grams was recently discovered in a mine. If the density of the emerald is 2.76 grams/cm cubed, what is the volume? Round to the nearest hundredth when necessary and only enter numerical values, which can include a decimal point.

Answer 1

Density = Mass / Volume
Volume = Mass / Density
Volume = 764.3 / 2.76
Volume = 276.92 cubic centimeters

Answer 2

The volume of emerald is 276.9 cubic centimeters.

Explanation:

For this we have to use the density equation:

`Density=(Mass)/(Volume)`

In this case we have a value of density and mass, replacing in the equation we can find the volume value:

`2.76(grams)/(cm3) =(764.3grams)/(Volume)`

Clearing Volume:

`Volume=(764.3grams)/(2.76grmas/cm3)`

`Volume=276.9cm3`

The volume of emerald is 276.9 cubic centimeters.
