Answer 1

Answer:

44 words

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

The dimension is

7cm long and = 0.07mm

5mm in diameter

radius= 2.5mm

The volume = πr^2h

Volume= 3.142*2.5^2*0.07

Volume= 3.142*6.25*0.07

volume= 1.4 mm^3

If 1.4 mm^3 will write 310 words on an average

1/5(0.2mm^3) liter will write x

cross multiply we have

x= 0.2*310/1.4

x=62/1.4

x=44 words
