Density is a physical property which describes the mass of a substance per unit of volume of the substance. It is expressed as Density = m / V and it has units like g/cm^3. We use the density given to solve the problem.

10.1 lbs (1 kg/2.2 lb)(1000 g / 1kg) / 0.918 g / cm^3 = 5001 cm^3

Answer: The volume of human fat is [tex]4990.52cm^3[/tex]

Explanation:

We are given:

Mass of human fat = 10.1 pounds

To convert the given mass grams, we use the conversion factor:

1 pound = 453.592 g

So, [tex]10.1 pounds=10.1\times 453.592=4581.3g[/tex]

To calculate volume of a substance, we use the equation:

[tex]Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}[/tex]

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]0.918g/cm^3=\frac{4581.3g}{\text{Volume of human fat}}\\\\\text{Volume of human fat}=4990.52cm^3[/tex]

Hence, the volume of human fat is [tex]4990.52cm^3[/tex]
