Question

A marble slab in the shape of a right rectangular prism has

dimensions of 100 centimeters by 80 centimeters by 5 centimeters.
The slab has density of 2.6 grams per cubic centimeter. What is the
mass of the marble slab, in grams? (Density is mass per unit volume)
a. 481
b. 10,400
C. 15,384
d. 104,000

Answer 1

The mass of the marble slab is 104,000 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mass of the marble slab, we can use the formula:

Mass = Density × Volume

The volume of the slab can be found by multiplying its length, width, and height:

Volume = 100 cm × 80 cm × 5 cm = 40,000 cm³

Now, we can substitute the given density of 2.6 g/cm³ and the volume into the formula:

Mass = 2.6 g/cm³ × 40,000 cm³ = 104,000 g

Therefore, the mass of the marble slab is 104,000 grams.
