Question

a piece of styrofoam has a density of 0.0153 g/ml. what is the volume, in ml, of 0.250 pounds of the styrofoam

Answer 1

7397.05 mL.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of 0.250 pounds of styrofoam, we need to convert the weight to grams and then divide by the density in g/mL.

First, convert the weight from pounds to grams:

0.250 lbs * 453.59 g/lb = 113.4 g

Then, divide the weight in grams by the density in g/mL:

113.4 g / 0.0153 g/mL = 7397.05 mL

So, 0.250 pounds of styrofoam has a volume of approximately 7397.05 mL.
