Question

A backpacker carries 2.7 L of white gas as fuel for her stove.How many pounds does the fuel add to her load? Assume the density of white gas to be 0.79 g/cm

Answer 1

2.7 L in cm³ :

2.7 * 1000 = 2700 cm³

Weight = Volume * Density

2700 * 0.79 = 2133 g

1 Ibs = 453.59 g

2133 / 453.59 = 4.70 Ibs

hope this helps!
