Answer 1

55

Explanation:

D = M/V

D = 14.4

M = 792

V = ?

14.4 = 792/V

V (14.4) = 792/V (V)

14.4v = 792

14.4v/14.4 = 792/14.4

V = 55

Answer 2

55

Explanation:

Step 1: Density = mass/volume

Step 2: Density = Candyworld/acres

The number of Candys is 792, the density is 14.4, and acres is the volume. Let V represent the volume in acres.

Step 3: 14.4 = 792 Candys/V

Step 4: (V)(14.4) = 792 Candys/V (V)

Step 5: (14.4)(V) = 792 Candys

Step 6: V = 55 [volume is 55 acres] Candyworld is 55 acres.
