Answer:
The sample of lead has a volume of 11.1 cm³
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
x cm³ lead has a density of 11.3 g/cm³
it has the same mass as 330cm³ of a piece of redwood with density 0.38g/cm³
Step 2: Calculate mass of the piece of redwood
Density = mass/volume
mass = density * volume
Mass of the piece of redwood = 0.38 g/cm³ * 330cm³ = 125.4 grams
Since the sample of lead has the same mass, it also has a mass of 125.4 grams
Step 3: Calculate volume of the lead
Density = mass/ volume
Volume = mass/ density
Volume of lead = 125.4g / 11.3g/cm³ = 11.097 cm³≈11.1 cm³
The sample of lead has a volume of 11.1 cm³
