Question

a piece of tin foil has a volume of 0.645 ml to the 3rd if a piece measures 10.0 mm by 12.5 m what is the thickness of the foil

Answer 1

Explanation:

Fundamentally the aluminum foil is a rectangular prism. It has a length, a width, and a thickness.

The volume of a rectangular prism is expressed as

$V = l * w * h$

If we know the volume and two of the three dimensions, we can rearrange the equation to solve for the thickness.

$h = V/(l*w)$

But we should also be sure to confirm our units.

A liter is defined as 1000 cm^3. Therefore a mL is equal to 1 cm^3.

You should convert the units of measure given in the problem statement such that the units are aligned. For example, 10.0mm will be 1 cm and 12.5m will be 1250 cm. This will give you a height in cm.
