Question

There's a block of metal with the dimensions below that weighs 2500 grams. What is the density of

the metal?

Answer 1

The correct answer is 37.72 g/
`cm^(3)`

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the density of this block the first step is to find the total volume or space occupied by the block. This is because the volume is one of the factors that determines density (Density = mass ÷ volume). Now, to find the volume multiply the three sides given or the length, width, and heigh:

6 cm × 3 cm × 4 cm = 72
`cm^(3)`

Finally, calculate the density:

2500 grams ÷ 72 cubic centimeters = 37.72 g/
`cm^(3)`
