Question

On her camping trip, Penelope was in charge of collecting firewood. The firewood she found had a mass of 120 g and a volume of 480 cm3. What is the density of the firewood?

Answer 1

From the formula: density=mass/volume
But first, we have to convert the cm³ to m³ by multiplying the value in cm³ by 10^-6, by so doing we'll have the volume to be 0.48*10^-3cm³.
we will also need to convert the mass which is in g to kg by simply dividing by 1000 so the mass becomes 0.12kg
Now we can solve for the density using the formula I earlier stated which is the mass divided by the volume =0.12/0.48*10^-3 so the density will be 0.25*10^3kgm-3 or 2.5*10^2kgm-3
