Question

The density of ice is 917 kg/m3. The density of salt water is 1029 kg/m3. A mass of ice is 2.55 x 1013 kg. Calculate the volume of salt water that has the same mass as 278 km3 of ice.

Answer 1

247 km3

Step-by-step explanation:

Density =mass /volume

Volume =mass /density

Mass=density * volume

278km3 =2.78*10 5 m3

917 * (2.78*10 5) = 254,926,000

=2.54926 *10 8 kg

(2.54926 * 10 8)/ 1029 kg/m3

=2477414966m3

247.74 km3

2.4774 * 10 2 km3
