Question

Given:

Density (D) = 0.5 g/cubic centimeters
Mass (M) = 20 g
Volume (V) = ?
What is the unknown quantity in this problem?
A) Density (D)
B) Mass (M)
C) Volume (V)
D) None of the above

Answer 1

The unknown quantity in the given problem is the Volume (V), which can be calculated using the density equation to be 40 cubic centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The unknown quantity in this problem is the Volume (V). The density (D) is provided as 0.5 g/cubic centimeters and the Mass (M) as 20 g. To find the Volume (V), we'll use the formula for density,
D = m/V, or rearranged, V = m/D.

Applying the provided values:

V = 20 g / 0.5 g/cm³ = 40 cm³.

Therefore, the Volume (V) is 40 cubic centimeters.
