A block of metal has a width of 3.2 cm , a length of 17.1 cm , and height of 4.6 cm . Its mass is 1.4 kg . Calculate the density
dsp73

The Density of  the metal  is 5.6 g/cm³

<h3>What is the density of a substance?</h3>

The density of a substance is the ratio of the mass and the volume of the substance.

  • Density = mass/volume


The density of the metal is calculated as follows:

mass of metal = 1.4 kg = 1400 g

volume of metal = 3.2 * 17.1 * 4.6 = 251.712 cm³

Density of metal = 1400 g/251.712 cm³

Density of the metal  = 5.6 g/cm³

Therefore, the density of the metal is obtained from the mass and the volume of the metal.

Some people must eat a low-sodium diet with no more than 2,000 mg of sodium per day. By eating 1 cracker, 1 pretzel, and 1 cooki
Leni [432]

Answer:

The amount of sodium is 32 mg per cracker, 49 mg per pretzel and 68 mg per cookie.

Explanation:

Let's assume amount of sodium is x mg per cracker, y mg per pretzel and z mg per cookie.

So, the following three equations can be written as per given information:

x+y+z = 149 ........(1)

8y+8z = 936 ........(2)

6x+7y = 535 .........(3)

From equation- (2), y+z = \frac{936}{8} = 117

By substituting the value of (y+z) in equation- (1) we get,

                          x = 149-(y+z) = 149-117 = 32

By substituting the value of x into equation- (3) we get,

                           y = \frac{535-(6\times 32)}{7} = 49

By substituting the value of y  into equation- (2) we get,

                           z = (117-49) = 68

So, the amount of sodium is 32 mg per cracker, 49 mg per pretzel and 68 mg per cookie.
