Density is mass over volume. The density of iron is given in g/cm³
we have to first convert g/cm³ to kg/dL.
1000 g = 1 kg and 100 cm³ = 1 dL
the mass of 1 cm³ = 1 g
the mass of 100 cm³ / 1 dL = 100 g
then mass of 1 dL in kg is = 100 g / 1000 g/kg = 0.1 kg
volume of 0.1 kg is 1 dL
therefore density of iron is 7.86 g/cm³ x 0.1 kg/dL / g/cm³ = 0.786 kg/dL
volume of iron having mass 0.786 kg is 1 dL
then volume of iron having a mass of 4.62 kg is - 1 dL / 0.786 kg x 4.62 kg = dL
volume of iron is 5.88 dL
Carbon 14 dating makes some assumptions that are not exactly true, but likely close enough for most purposes. 1 that the ratio of carbon 13 to carbon 14 in Earth's atmosphere has not changed over the last million years. 2 that living things give zero preference to carbon 13 over carbon 14.
3 Carbon 14 dating is often unreliable for rocks which have low carbon content, such as quartz, and some other assumptions.
The best steps that should always be used for effective problem solving would be C. Developing a plan and then implementing the plan.
