Question

The density of liquid a is 8 pounds per gallon and the density of liquid b is 6 pounds per gallon. what quantity of liquid b weighs the same as 30 gallons of liquid a?

Answer 1

40 gallons of liquid b weighs the same as 30 gallons of liquid a.

What is density?

A substance's density is defined as its mass per unit volume (more specifically, the volumetric mass density; also known as specific mass). Although the Latin letter D may also be used, the sign most frequently used for density is (the lower case Greek letter rho). Density is mathematically defined as mass divided by volume.

where m is the mass, V is the volume and D is the density, which is sometimes roughly characterized as weight per unit volume, while this is incorrect scientifically; this quantity is more precisely known as specific weight.

For liquid a,

8= mass/30

For liquid b,

6=mass/volume

For the two masses to be equal,

240=6*volume

volume=240/6

volume=40
