Question

SHOW ALL WORK : A metal bar has a length of 5.0 cm, a width of 3.0 cm, and a height of 1.0 cm. What volume of water, measured in deciliters, would this bar displace?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

0.15 dL

Explanation:

The volume of the bar is ...

V = LWH

V = (5 cm)(3 cm)(1 cm) = 15 cm³

1 dL = 100 cm³, so this volume is ...

(15 cm³)(1 dL)/(100 cm³) = 0.15 dL

The bar will displace 0.15 deciliters.
