Question

A liquid has a density of 1.17 g/cm3, how many liters of the liquid have a mass of 3.75 kg

Answer 1

There are 1000 cm3 in 1 liters. Hence 1 liter of the liquid would weigh: 1000 cm3 x (1.17 g/cm3) = 1170 gm and there are 1000 gm in 1 kg, so we want enough liters to have a mass of 3.75 kg x 1000 gm/kg = 3750 gm Hence, # of liters = desired mass / # of gm per liter = 3750 gm / 1170 gm/liter = 3.2051282 liters
