Question

Your brother wants to make a boat out of the tall oak tree in your yard.

For every 1000 cm3 piece of wood, your brother measured them to be
about 850g. What is the density of the wood?

Answer 1

The density of the wood is 0.85 g/cm³.

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of an object is defined as the mass of the object divided by its volume. In this case, the mass of a 1000 cm³ piece of wood is measured to be 850g. To find the density, we need to divide the mass (850g) by the volume (1000 cm³).

So the density of the wood is 0.85 g/cm³.
