Question

The density of a certain material is such that it weighs 7 pounds for every 5.5 cups of volume. Express this density in kilograms per pint. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

Answer:

$Density = 1.1546\ kg/pint$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Mass = 7\ lb$

$Cups = 5.5$

Required

Determine the density in Kg/Pint

Density is calculated as thus:

$Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}$

$Density = \frac{7\ lb}{5.5\ cups}$

Convert pound to kg

$Density = \frac{7/ 2.205\ kg}{5.5\ cups}$

$Density = \frac{3.17515\ kg}{5.5\ cups}$

Convert cups to pint

$Density = \frac{3.17515\ kg}{5.5/2\ pint}$

$Density = \frac{3.17515\ kg}{2.75\ pint}$

$Density = 1.1546\ kg/pint$
