Answer:

Volume of the sand bag,
V=333. 33 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Density of sand bag,
$d=45\ g/cm^3$

Mass of the sand bag, m = 15 kg = 15000 kg

We need to find the space taken by the sand bag. The occupied space is called the volume of the sand bag. Density is given by :

d=(m)/(V)

V=(m)/(d)

$V=(15000\ g)/(45\ g/cm^3)$

$V=333.33\ cm^3$

or

$V=333.33\ cm^3$

So, the volume of the sand bag is
$V=333.33\ cm^3$ . Hence, this is the required solution.
