Question
A block of iron has a mass of 600 g and a density of 7.9 g/cm³. What is its volume?
Show answer
Answer
The volume is about 75.9 cm³.
Explanation
Volume
=
\( \dfrac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Density}} = \dfrac{600\ \text{g}}{7.9\ \text{g/cm}^3} \approx 75.9\ \text{cm}^3 \)
- Rearrange density = mass ÷ volume to volume = mass ÷ density.
- Divide 600 g by 7.9 g/cm³.
- This gives about 75.9 cm³.
Volume = mass ÷ density = 600 ÷ 7.9 ≈ 75.9 cm³.
