Answer 1

Answer:

0.02 tons per cubic meter

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: Density = 0.23 tons per cubic meter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula : $Density=\dfrac{Mass(in \ ton)}{Volume (in\ m^3)}$

1 ton = 32000 ounces

⇒ 1 ounce = 0.00003125 ton

⇒  7 ounces = 7(0.00003125)=  0.00021875 ton

1 gallon = 0.00378541 cubic meter

2.5 gallons = 0.009475 cubic meter

Density= $\dfrac{0.00021875}{0.009475}\text{ tons per cubic meter}$

$\dfrac{21875}{94750}\text{ tons per cubic meter}\approx0.23\text{ tons per cubic meter}$

Hence, Density = 0.23 tons per cubic meter.
