Question

The density of homogenized milk is 1.03 g/mL. How much does 1 cup (236 mL)

of the milk weigh in pounds (lb)? Show your work.

Answer 1

The answer is

0.53 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

We must first find the mass using the density and the volume given in grams before converting to pounds.

To find the mass of a substance given the density and volume is

mass = Density × volume

From the question

volume = 236 mL

Density = 1.03 g/mL

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve

That's

mass = 1.03 × 236 = 243.08 g

Now we use the conversion

1 g = 0.0022 lb

if 1 g = 0.0022 lb

Then 243.08 = 243.08 × 0.0022

We have the final answer as

0.53 lb
