Answer:

The volume in in³ is 4.19 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the volume in in³ ( cubic inches),

First, we will find the volume in cm³

From the question,

The density of aluminum = 2.70 g/cm³

Mass of the aluminum = 185.3 g

From,


Density = (Mass)/(Volume)

Then,


Volume = (Mass)/(Density)

Hence,

The volume of the aluminum in cm³ is


Volume = (185.3 g)/(2.70g/cm^(3) )


Volume = 68.63 cm³

This is the volume in cm³

Now, for the volume in in³

1 in = 2.54 cm

∴ 1 in³ = 16.3871 cm³

Now,

If 16.3871 cm³ = 1 in³

Then, 68.63 cm³ =
x


x =(68.63 * 1 )/(16.3871)


x =4.19 in³

Hence, the volume in in³ is 4.19 in³
