The volume of this sapphire in cubic centimeters is 24.4 cm^3
We have the following information;
Mass of the Blue Giant = 486.52 carats
Density of the blue giant = 3.98 g/cm3
Volume of the blue giant = ?
Since the density is given in g/cm3, we must convert the mass to grams.
We have the conversion factor; 5
carats =
1
g
So;
If 5 carats make 1g
486.52 carats make 486.52 carats × 1g/ 5 carats
= 97.30 g
Since;
Density = mass/volume
Volume = Mass/Density
Volume = 97.30 g/3.98 g/cm3
Volume = 24.4 cm^3
