Question

A block of ice is in the shape of a square with side lengths. 0.4 meters.

The ice has a density of 917 kilograms per cubic meter. Find the mass of the block of the ice to the nearest kilogram.

Answer 1

Answer:58.688

Explanation:

The formula for finding area of a cube is x^3 where x is the side length.

This means the area of the cube is 0.4x0.4x0.4 which equals 0.064 cubic meters.

Because the ice has a density of 917kg per cubic meter, we now need to find what percent of a cubic meter 0.064 is.

So, just divide 1 by 0.064 to get 15.625. This means that 0.064 goes into 1 15.625 times, making it 15.625 times smaller than 1.

Divide 917 by 15.625 and you get 58.688
