Question

Frank has a sample of steel that weighs 80 grams. If the density of his sample of steel is 8 g/cm3 ,what is the samples volume?

Answer 1

Answer: 10 cm3

Explanation:

Mass of sample of steel (m) = 80 grams

density of sample of steel (p) = 8 g/cm3 samples volume (v) = ?

Since density is obtained by dividing mass by volume, the density of the steel sample is expressed as:

density = mass / volume

p = m / v

make v the subject formula

v = m / p

v = 80 grams / 8 g/cm3

v = 10 cm3

Thus, the samples volume is 10 cm3
