Question

Zack's science class is learning about ways to find the volume of irregularly-shaped objects. For his first experiment, Zack finds that a small marble statue weighs 1.3 kilograms. Then, he uses its density to find its volume in liters. If the density of marble is approximately 2.6 grams per milliliter, what is the volume of Zack's statue?

Answer 1

The volume of the small marble is 500ml or 0.5 liters

Explanation:

Mass of the small marble = 1.3kg

Convert it into grams

Mass of the small marble = 1300 grams

Density of the small marble = 2.6 grams/ml

Volume of the small marble = ?

The formula for density is given as:

Density = Mass / Volume

Where we need to find the volume, so rearrange the equation with respect to Volume.

Volume = Mass / Density

Volume = 1300 (grams) / 2.6 (grams/ml)

Volume = 500 ml

Thus, the volume of the small marble is 500ml or 0.5 liters
