Answer:

22 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

  • Mass of titanium = 3.6 pounds

We are required to determine the volume of titanium in cubic inches

  • We need to know the density of titanium;

Density of titanium = 4.51 g/cm^3

1 pound = 453.592 g

therefore, 3.6 pound = (3.6 × 453.592 g per pound)

= 1632.93 g

Therefore;

Volume = Mass ÷ density

= 1632.93 g ÷ 4.51 g/cm^3

= 362.069 cm³

But, 1 in³ = 16.387 cm³

Therefore;

Volume = 362.069 cm³ ÷ 16.387 cm³ per in³

= 22.095 in³

= 22 in³

Thus the volume of titanium is 22 cubic inches
