Question

How much volume (in cm^3)is gained by a person who gains 11.8 lb of our fat? Human fat has a density of 0.918 g/cm^3

Answer 1

The volume (in cm³) gained by a person who gains 11.8 lb of fat is 5830.49 cm³

What is density?

The density of a substance is simply defined as the mass of the subtance per unit volume of the substance. Mathematically, it can be expressed as

Density = mass / volume

How to convert pounds to grams

1 lb = 453.592 g

Therefore,

11.8 lb = 11.8 × 453.592

11.8 lb = 5352.3856 g

How to determine the volume

• Mass = 5352.3856 g
• Density = 0.918 g/cm³
• Volume =?

Volume =  mass / density

Volume =  5352.3856 / 0.918

Volume = 5830.49 cm³
