Question

An object is found to have a mass of 54.3 g. Find the object’s density, if its volume is 47.18 cm3

Answer 1

Answer:

d≈ 1.15 g/cm^3

Explanation:

The density of an object can be found by dividing the mass over the volume.

d= m/v

The mass of the object is 54.3 grams and the volume is 47.18 cubic centimeters.

m= 54.3 g

v= 47.18 cm^3

Substitute the values into the formula.

d= 54.3 g/ 47.18 cm

Divide.

d= 1.150911403136922 g/cm^3

Let’s round to the nearest hundredth. The 0 in the thousandth place tells us to leave the 5 in the hundredth place.

d ≈ 1.15 g/cm^3

The density is about 1.15 grams per cubic centimeter.
