Question

The density of water is 1000 kilograms per cubic meter, and the density of ice is about 916 kilograms per cubic meter. If 575 kilograms of water and 275 kilograms of ice is combined in a container, about how much volume would the mixture take up?

Answer 1

volume of the mixture is (0.575+0.300)-----> 0.875 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

density=mass/volume--------> volume=mass/density

step 1

find the volume of water

mass=575 kg

density of water=1000 kg/m³

volume of water=mass/density-----> 575/1000----> 0.575 m³

step 2

find the volume of ice

mass=275 kg

density of ice=916 kg/m³

volume of ice=mass/density-----> 275/916----> 0.300... m³

the volume of water is 0.575³

the volume of ice is 0.300.. m³

volume of the mixture is (0.575+0.300)-----> 0.875 m³
