Question

You need 50 g of milk for a cookie recipe, but you don’t have a scale. you do know that milk has a density of 1.10 g/cm3 . knowing that 1 cm3 = 1 ml, how much milk should you should use for this cookie recipe?

Answer 1

In this case we are given the mass and density and we are to look for the volume. We know that the formula is:

volume = mass / density

 

Therefore calculating for volume:

volume = 50 g / (1.10 g / cm^3)

volume = 45.45 cm^3

or

volume = 45.45 mL
