Question

An iron ball has a density of 4 g/cm3.

The volume of the ball is 15 cm3.
What is the mass of the ball?

Answer 1

Answer: 60 grams

========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

m = mass

v = volume

d = density

The formula we use is

d = m/v

Multiplying both sides by v allows us to solve for m

d = m/v

d*v = m

m = d*v

Now plug in the given density (d = 4) and the given volume (v = 15) and simplify:

m = d*v

m = 4*15

m = 60 grams

Note how,

d = m/v

d = 60/15

d = 4

which helps confirm our answer
