Question

The volume of a candy bar is 73 cm³. The mass of the candy bar is 93 g. What is the density of the candy bar?

a) 6.789 g/cm³
b) 1.0 g/cm³
c) 0.8 g/cm³
d) 1.3 g/cm³

Answer 1

To calculate the density of the candy bar, divide the mass (93 g) by the volume (73 cm³) to get 1.273 g/cm³, which rounds to 1.3 g/cm³, answer choice (d).

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of a substance is the ratio of its mass to its volume. To find the density of the candy bar, we use the formula density = mass / volume. Given that the mass of the candy bar is 93 g and the volume of a candy bar is 73 cm³, we calculate the density as follows:

density = 93 g / 73 cm³ = 1.273 g/cm³

Therefore, the closest answer to the calculated density is (d) 1.3 g/cm³.
