Question

A small bar of gold measures 40 mm by 25 mm by 2 mm. One cubic millimeter of gold weighs about 0.0005 ounce. Find the volume in cubic millimeters and the weight in ounces of this small bar of gold.

Answer 1

I'm believing that you have the measurements in the right order, lwh, the Volume would be 5,000. You'd take 40 x 25 x 2= 5,000.

The weight is 2.5 oz. You get this answer by taking the Volume, 5,000, and multiply it by 0.0005 and you get 2.5 ounces.

I hope this helps!
