Question

7. A solid wax candle has a volume of 1,700 mL. The candle has a mass of 1.5 kg (1,500 g). What is the

density of the candle?

Answer 1

0.88

Step-by-step explanation:

density = mass/volume

density = 1500/1700

density = 0.88

Answer 2

The answer is 0.88 g/mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

`density = (mass)/(volume) \\`

From the question

mass = 1500 g

volume = 1700 mL

We have

`density = (1500)/(1700) = (15)/(17) \\ = 0.88235294...`

We have the final answer as

0.88 g/mL
