Frank has a sample of steel that weighs 80 grams. If the density of his sample of steel is 8 g/cm3, what is the sample’s volume?
The sample’s volume is ___cm3.

Respuesta :

Density (p) is defined as the mass (m) per unit volume (v) or:

p = m/v 

Using this relationship, the volume is:

v = m/p

Using the given values of mass of 80 grams and density of 8 g/cm3, the sample volume is:

v = 80 grams/8 grams/cm3
v = 10 cm3

The final answer is 10 cm3.
