Hi!! Remember that if density is given V = M/D (always working with the same set of units). So here you must to convert lb to grams: 1.0lb = 453.6g Now you must do a simple operation: V [cm3] = 453.6 [g] / 2.639 [g/cm3] = 171.88 [cm3] The key of this question is the unit conversion, you have several online tools to do this, I will give you one that shows how the conversion was do, so you can learn to do it by yourself: Unit Conversions http://webphysics.ph.msstate.edu/units/index.html (If you enter an integer like 100 add decimals -enter 100.00- in order to obtain a more exact result, i.e. more significant digits will be used, two zeros to use two significant digits in the conversion, etc). Hope this helps you. |

Your second question makes it clear that this is a homework problem. To answer it, like your previous one, you have to understand the relationship between mass, volume, and density. There is a very simple formula relating these three factors, which you should be able to figure out from my comment to your first question. Hint for this question: convert lbs to g of salt. |

Hello shelbyarps I'm unclear why you are asking for an answer in cm6. Volume is measured in cm3 = cc= cubic centimetres. The question is telling you how many grams of salt are present in 1 cc. Convert this into a fraction of a pound, and then multiply by the relevant number to calculate how many cc of salt go into 1 lb weight. |
