Question

A 253 g block of wood has the following dimensions: Length 15.24 cm Width 6.64 cm Height 3.56 cm What is the density of the wooden block?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.7 g/cm³

Explanation:

hey there,

< The formula for density is $p = \frac{m}{v}$  where m = mass, v = volume, and p = density. An easy way to remember the formula is density equals love. I found this easy to remember because p = ♡ and when you think about it, if you split the heart in half through the middle like a fraction, it will make $\frac{m}{v}$ (if you don't understand what I'm saying, try writing it out and you will be able to see what I'm talking about!)

We already know that the block is 253 g so the mass is 253 g.

To find the volume, always multiply the 3 values width, length, and height whenever you are trying to find the volume of a block.

15.24 cm x 6.64 cm x 3.56 cm = 360.25 cm³

Now plug it into the formula.$p = \frac{m}{v}=\frac{253}{360.25} = 0.7 g/cm$³ >

Hope this helped! Feel free to ask anything else.
